| The proportion of successful treatments per treatment arm is equal (successful = VUR | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • The treatment with Vantris® is cost-effective compared to treatment with Deflux® • There is no significant difference in the number of urinary-tract infections within 6 months after the treatment in both treatment arms. In case there is, it is in favour of fewer infections in the Vantris® treatment arm. • There is no significant difference between both treatment arms in the number of recurrences of VUR in the long term (2.5, 5 and 10 years). In case there is a difference, it is in favour of fewer recurrences in the Vantris® treatment-arm. | — |
