Table 5 Logistic regression analysis of the influence of VUR grade on kidney impairment as shown on DMSA scan, adjusted for age and time interval between VUR diagnosis and DMSA scan.
Dependent variable | OR (95% CI) | P* | |
---|---|---|---|
Parenchymal width | Grade of VUR | 2.5 (1.8–3.6) | |
Time distance | 0.96 (0.73–1.3) | 0.800 | |
Age at diagnosis | 1.1 (0.99–1.3) | 0.076 | |
Kidney position, rotation, and outline | Grade of VUR | 4.8 (2.4–9.3) | |
Time distance | 1.5 (0.9–2.5) | 0.141 | |
Age at diagnosis | 1.3 (1–1.7) | 0.031 | |
Intensity of activity | Grade of VUR | 2.8 (1.9–4) | |
Time distance | 1.4 (1.1–1.8) | 0.011 | |
Age at diagnosis | 1.2 (1.0–1.3) | 0.017 | |
Distribution of activity | Grade of VUR | 2.8 (1.9–4) | |
Time distance | 1.6 (1.2–2.1) | 0.002 | |
Age at diagnosis | 1.2 (1.1–1.4) | 0.002 | |
Scar | Grade of VUR | 3.1 (1.8–5.5) | |
Time distance | 1.1 (0.7–1.7) | 0.774 | |
Age at diagnosis | 1.3 (1–1.6) | 0.015 | |
* Logistic regression. CI – confidence interval; OR – odds ratio; DMSA – Tc-DMSA scintigraphy; VUR – vesicoureteral reflux. |
