Summary
The current practice of pre-VCUG antibiotic prophylaxis is highly variable. A recent
unpublished survey of Society of Fetal Urologists (SFU) completed by this study team found
that 87% of respondents reported having patients who develop fUTI following VCUG, with 30% of
respondents prophylaxing for fUTI in patients undergoing VCUG. The current lack of best
practice guidelines regarding antibiotic prophylaxis prior to VCUG due to low quality of
current literature, and a growing concern around risks of unnecessary antibiotic exposure
suggests the need for an RCT. The results of this pilot trial will inform the ability to
conduct a definitive RCT on this important subject. The results of the definitive trial would
have important clinical and economic implications.
