Central Asian University is pleased to announce a new scientific publication authored by Medical School Professor Zilola Khadjieva in collaboration with students Sabina Juraeva, Fotima Sobirjonova, Mirsaid Aripov, and Khusanjon Sobirjonov. The study has been indexed in PubMed, underscoring its academic significance and contribution to global pediatric healthcare research.
The article, titled “Early-Life and Perinatal Risk Factors for Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Retrospective Case-Control Study,” explores environmental and perinatal influences on the development of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Key Findings of the Study
The research identifies several early-life and maternal factors associated with increased risk of pediatric IBD:
- Maternal anemia
- Early antibiotic use
- Acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI)
- Gastrointestinal infections
- Emotional stress
- Gluten-free diet
A moderate association was also found with chickenpox.
Conversely, the study revealed no significant correlation between IBD risk and formula feeding, maternal miscarriages, measles, or fast-food consumption.
This work provides valuable insights into early-life contributors to the development of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease. The study also highlights the strong scientific collaboration between CAU faculty and students, demonstrating the university’s commitment to advancing international research in pediatric gastroenterology.
