Survival and Kidney Outcomes of Children with an Early Diagnosis of Posterior Urethral Valves.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients in this multicenter cohort with posterior urethral valves had a 5% risk of death, and were most likely to die during their initial hospitalization. Risk of death was higher with a diagnosis of pulmonary hypoplasia. Kidney dysplasia was associated with a higher risk of need for dialysis/transplant.
