Fertility and pregnancy in inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract

Objective: A retrospective study of women with inflammatory bowel disease, aged 16–45 years during the 20‐year period 1967–1986, was carried out in North East Scotland. Method: Five‐hundred and three women were identified: 15 patients had died from unrelated causes and 22 had emigrated, but 409 of the remaining 466 patients (88%) replied to the study questionnaire. Results: Women with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease had normal fertility when compared with the general population of north east Scotland. However, unresolved infertility problems were more frequent in women who had undergone surgery for inflammatory bowel disease compared with those who had not (12% vs. 5% for Crohn's disease; 25% vs. 7% for ulcerative colitis). Disease relapse rates did not increase in pregnancy. Conclusions: Overall, at conception women with active disease were as likely to have a normal full‐term pregnancy as those in remission. However, spontaneous abortion occurred in five (36%) pregnancies of women who had undergone previous surgery for Crohn's disease and had evidence of recurrent disease. Three of these pregnancies were associated with active disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
