The epidemiology of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in Greater Glasgow area, 1980-96.
The annual incidence of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) in Greater Glasgow area from 1980 to 1996 was calculated. An increasing incidence was observed between 1980 and 1988 but not thereafter. There is a suggestion that environmental factors may play a role in the aetiology of this condition.
