Overview
The most potent risk factors in the development of infantile pyloric stenosis are male gender, Caucasian race, bottle feeding, caesarean section delivery, first-born infant, preterm birth, and exposure to macrolides, nitrofurantoin, penicillins and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole during pregnancy.
Risk Factors
Risk Factors of infantile pyloric stenosis
The most potent risk factor in the development of infantile pyloric stenosis is male gender. Other risk factors include bottle feeding, caucasian race, cesarean section delivery, first born infant, preterm birth and exposure to macrolides, nitrofurantoin, penicillins and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole during pregnancy.[1]
Common Risk Factors of infantile pyloric stenosis
- Male gender[2]
- Caucasian race[3]
- Bottle feeding[4]
- Cesarean section delivery
Less Common Risk Factors
Less common risk factors in the development of infantile pyloric stenosis include:
- First-born infant
- Preterm birth
- Exposure to macrolides, nitrofurantoin, penicillins and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole during pregnancy.[1]
Risk Factors for adult-onset hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS)
There are no established risk factor for adult-onset hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS).
