Abstract

We reviewed the incidence rates of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) and pylorospasm in Saskatchewan from 1970 to 1985 and found a marked decrease in the rates after 1976. As expected, there was a preponderance of males among those with IHPS and among those with pylorospasm discharged from hospital between 1 and 3 months of age. No seasonal pattern was observed. We believe that the decrease in incidence rates was related to environmental influences, such as changes in the methods of feeding observed since 1977.
