Increasing age was the only significant predictor of poor functional outcome. And we also found that age was inversely related to the bowel score in the patients but not in controls, and this is sort of a worrying finding, which means that we may expect that our patients that might do quite well when they're young adults might not do so well when they when they age.

Colorectal / ARM & Hirschsprung
In patients with total colonic aganglionosis, if aganglionosis extends beyond 50 cm of terminal ileum, achievement of functional bowel continuity or autonomy from parenteral nutrition is exceptional and long-term survival is poor without intestinal transplantation.

Colorectal / ARM & Hirschsprung
Increasing age was the only significant predictor of poor functional outcome in adult Hirschsprung patients, and age was inversely related to bowel function score in patients but not controls—a worrying finding suggesting patients may deteriorate as they age.
epidemiological ·
Enterocolitis
In a population-based study of 143 adult Hirschsprung patients (operated 1960-1986), the mean bowel function score was 17.1 compared to 19.1 in controls (p<0.05), with only 25% of patients scoring full 20 points versus 50% of controls.
