Sex Differences in Postoperative Outcomes of Hirschsprung Disease: Propensity Score Matching Analysis

In brief

This study examines whether biological sex influences surgical outcomes in Hirschsprung disease patients using propensity score matching methodology. While sex-based differences in HSCR incidence are established, this research addresses the gap in understanding how sex affects postoperative recovery and complications.

• Sex differences exist in Hirschsprung disease incidence, but their impact on postoperative outcomes remains poorly understood.
• Propensity score matching analysis can control for confounding variables when comparing male vs. female surgical outcomes in HSCR.
• Understanding sex-based outcome differences may inform personalized perioperative management strategies for Hirschsprung patients.
