Maternal smoking and risk of hypertrophic infantile pyloric stenosis: 10 year population based cohort study

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis affects 0.5 to 3.0 per 1000 live births.1 2 The aetiology is unclear, but family history and sex distribution seem important and might indicate a genetic role.3 However, a recently reported fall in the incidence of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis sugge...

Summary:Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis affects 0.5 to 3.0 per 1000 live births.1 2 The aetiology is unclear, but family history and sex distribution seem important and might indicate a genetic role.3 However, a recently reported fall in the incidence of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis suggests that environmental factors are also important.4 During the last decade a similar reduction in the proportion of pregnant women who smoke was reported in Denmark,5 raising the possibility that maternal smoking...
