Should You Circumcise Your Baby Boy? - The New York Times

'The actual rates of urinary tract infection were 1.1 percent versus 0.1 percent, for an absolute rate difference of 1 percent. '

'For years, pediatricians have cited studies that show that being uncircumcised is a risk factor for developing a urinary tract infection. '

'This means that 100 boys would need to be circumcised to prevent one urinary tract infection. '

'Even more compelling, cohort studies showed that there was a tenfold increase in the rate of urinary tract infection in boys who were uncircumcised versus those who were. '

'In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics declared that the benefits of circumcising boys outweighed the risks of the procedure. '
