Abstract Background To estimate the subsequent cancer risk of children receiving post voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study with the data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) were used for the analysis. Methods In the VCUG cohort, 31,908 participants younger than 18 years of age who underwent VCUG between 1997 and 2008 were identified from the NHIRD. A comparison cohort, the non-VCUG cohort, was randomly selected among children without VCUG examination histories during 1997– Y.
