The risk of developing Crohn's disease after an appendectomy: a meta-analysis.

The risk of developing Crohn's disease after an appendectomy: a meta-analysis. Studies exploring the association between appendectomy and Crohn's disease (CD) have reported conflicting findings. We conducted a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis to assess the risk of CD following an appendectomy and determine the effect of time between appendectomy and CD diagnosis. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The American journal of gastroenterology Pubmed

The risk of developing Crohn's disease after an appendectomy: a meta-analysis.


Abstract

Studies exploring the association between appendectomy and Crohn's disease (CD) have reported conflicting findings. We conducted a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis to assess the risk of CD following an appendectomy and determine the effect of time between appendectomy and CD diagnosis.
