Associating these two databases, the investigators determined that the presence of high richness of helminthes, in particular, exerted pressure on the evolution of genetic changes in several interleukin loci. The conclusion was that microbial environments led to genetic changes that ultimately could produce aberrant inflammatory cytokines leading to chronic immune diseases (eg, IBD).

The hazard ratio of first-time diagnosis of IBD among exposed to unexposed persons was 1.9 (95% CI, 1.4-2.6), if the first year after exposure was excluded. The hazard ratios were similarly increased for Crohn's disease and UC. Because these were hospitalized patients with infectious gastroenteritis who ultimately presented with IBD, it is unknown if the risk of milder or subclinical infectious gastroenteritis at inducing IBD might be different. Further, those hospitalized with infectious gastroenteritis may be more likely to undergo diagnostic testing in the future (surveillance bias), and hence be more likely to be diagnosed with IBD.

The study investigators found that only the perception of stress in the period prior to flaring of their IBD symptoms was associated with symptom flare. The other variables, which have often been touted as triggers, had no association with a flare.
