Popis:	INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is often diagnosed and managed by both Pediatric Urologists (PU) and Pediatric Nephrologists (PN), yet little data exists comparing practice patterns between these two subspecialties. We sought to describe practice variation between PU and PN as it pertains to VUR. METHODS: An e-mail invitation was sent to 675 SPU and 753 ASPN members. Survey Monkey was used to obtain demographic and practice pattern data for commonly encountered clinical scenarios relating to VUR and urinary tract infection (UTI). Data from non-PU/PN responders and from those answering fewer than 37 of the 39 questions (95%) was excluded from analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 17.0. Categorical variables were compared using Chisquare test or Fisher’s Exact Test. Pair-wise comparisons were made using the Bonferroni adjustment. RESULTS: 255 (18%) physicians responded; of these, 4 (2%) were non-PU/PN and 48 (19%) answered 95% of survey questions, resulting in a final cohort of 203 respondents (133 PU, 70 PN). Age and practice setting were similar; more non-US PU than PN responded to the survey (20% vs. 7%, P
