PhD epidemiologist here. I know this pre-print is more for pediatric urologists than family med docs, but educating families and patients starts with PCPs (and there isn’t a large urology sub).

Anyway, sharing this for awareness of new research on long term negative physical and mental outcomes after VCUG procedure (gold standard for vesicoureteral reflux (~1-2% children)). Bigger (and better designed) study needs to be done, but this suggests education for families and patients might be helpful as well as additional training for radiologists performing the procedure on pediatric populations. Author also presented on research here: https://youtu.be/gHoHIA9oydk?si=ay_3x2Iq4IvkaLVM).
