In recent decades, there has been a rapid increase in the incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases in the children's population, especially in the age group under 6 years old. Risk factors significantly affect the reactive response of the child's organism and the probability of a pathology occurrence.
Purpose - to analyze risk factors for the development of inflammatory bowel diseases with very early onset in children.
Materials and methods. The anamnestic data of 78 examined patients with inflammatory bowel diseases - 17 patients with inflammatory bowel diseases with a very early onset and 61 children with inflammatory bowel disease that debuted over 6 years of age - were studied in detail retrospectively.
Results. The anamnestic risk factors that were significantly more often observed in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases with a very early onset compared to children with inflammatory bowel diseases with an onset after 6 years of age included: spontaneous abortion in patients' mothers anamnesis, autoimmune diseases in relatives, the presence of concomitant autoimmune diseases in patients, early introduction of artificial feeding and the presence of an infectious disease just before the onset of inflammatory bowel disease.
Conclusions. Taking into account the identified risk factors of inflammatory bowel diseases with a very early onset will ensure the improvement of prevention and early diagnosis of this gastrointestinal disease in young children.
The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the institution mentioned in the work. The informed consent of the children’s parents was obtained for the conducting the studies.
No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.
