Medical history variables were significantly related to IBD status included the presence of allergies (p = 0.005), history of appendectomy (p < 0.001), childhood antibiotic use before the age of 14 (p = 0.011), use of non-aspirin-non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) (borderline significant at p = 0.054), oral contraceptive use (p = 0.046), and prior parasitic infections (p = 0.020). all other exposures assessed did not demonstrate statistically significant associations.
