| Popis: | In order to evaluate the effect of the introduction of recent similar guidelines on the treatment of acute urinary tract infection (UTI) in children, and possible changes in its epidemiology, we analyzed the records of hospital discharge for acute UTI under the age of 15 years in England and Wales between 1979 and 1993 and in Finland between 1978 and 1994. Cases were defined by the ICD9 diagnostic codes 590.1 (acute pyelonephritis) and 599.0 (UTI, site not specified) for males and females according to three age groups (0–4, 5–9, and 10–14 years). We also compared the registry data on kidney transplants due to end-stage renal disease caused by recurrent pyelonephritis in the United Kingdom and Finland. In England the rate of attack of symptomatic UTI per 1,000 girls under 15 years increased from 0.74 (95% confidence interval 0.71–0.76) in 1987 to 1.32 (1.29–1.35) in 1993 (P |
