Risk calculators and risk factors for Intussusception

Overview

Common risk factors for the development of intussusception include male gender, age 6 to 12 months and anatomical anomaly of the intestine. Less common risk factors in the development of intussusception include antecedent viral illness, seasonal variation, first generation Rotavirus vaccine, Meckel's diverticulum, Celiac disease, polyp, cystic fibrosis, Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), surgical procedures involving the gut, duplication cyst, lymphomas, and areas of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia.

Risk Factors

Common risk factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of intussusception include:
    • Male gender: It affects boys four times as often as girls
    • Age 6 to 12 months : Intussusception can affect both children and adults, although most cases occur in children ages 6 months to 2 years
    • Anatomic variation of the intestine

Less common risk factors
