TL;DR: Urodynamic examination yields invaluable information about lower urinary tract function in infants and children in the following clinical situations: Daytime urinary incontinence, suspected infravesical obstruction, overt or suspected neurogenic bladder dysfunction, vesico-ureteral reflux with upper tract dilatation and chronic or recurrent bacteriuria.

TL;DR: A strong correlation was established between recurrences of urinary tract infections, as well as disappearance of vesicoureteral reflux (negative correlation) and nonneuropathic bladder/sphincter dysfunction.
