Of 141 children undergoing surgery for vesicoureteral reflux detected by voiding cystourethrography, preoperative excretory urography demonstrated signs suggestive of vesicoureteral reflux in 154 (67.5%) of 228 refluxing ureter. In 48 refluxing ureters (21%) renal growth retardation was the only sign; the latter was appreciated by applying the index described by Hodson, that is, the ratio of bipolar parenchymal thickness to total renal length. It was concluded that it is important to systematically calculate this simple index from every child's excretory urogram.
在141例因排尿性膀胱尿道造影检查发现膀胱输尿管反流而接受手术的儿童中，术前排泄性尿路造影显示，在228条反流输尿管中的154条（67.5%）有提示膀胱输尿管反流的征象。在48条反流输尿管（21%）中，肾脏生长迟缓是唯一的征象；通过应用霍德森描述的指数（即双极实质厚度与肾脏总长度的比值）来评估后者。得出的结论是，从每个儿童的排泄性尿路造影中系统地计算这个简单的指数很重要。
