Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Valerie SeagroattIt has been hypothesised that the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR vaccine) increases the risk of autism and Crohn's disease.Although a possible link with autism has been extensively studied and refuted, 1 a link with Crohn's disease has not.I tested this hypothesis by analysing trends in age specific admission rates for Crohn's disease in children and adolescents to determine if the introduction of MMR vaccine in 1988 increased rates in those populations that were offered the vaccine as infants.
