Burnett D, Brown MM, Otley A, et al. - Using survival analysis, researchers assessed if there is a connection between Caesarean section (CS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Nova Scotian children. The research focused on two retrospective cohorts in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia: all births between 1988 and 2014 (n = 262,729) linked with a clinical registry of all children diagnosed with IBD at the IWK Health Centre, Halifax (Clinical Cohort) and all births from 1989 to 1993 (n = 42,999) linked with provincial administrative health data (Administrative Cohort). Findings from these two population-based cohorts did not offer any evidence of a relationship between CS and IBD in childhood and young adulthood.
