Childhood gastrointestinal (GI) disorders may be predictive for interstitial cystitis (IC), according to a study published online June 25 in Neurourology & Urodynamics. Noting that early-life conditions such as GI disorders, urological anomalies (UA), psychiatric disorders, and autoimmune diseases (AD) have been hypothesized as potential risk factors for developing IC in childhood, Mohammad Alipour-Vaezi, from Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, and colleagues examined these associations in a retrospective cohort analysis using data encompassing 118 million patient records.
