Abstract
Background There is limited data on the incidence of gastrointestinal-specific pathology in gender non-conforming (GNC) populations. Methods Retrospective analysis of pancreatitis incidence rates in transgender and GNC persons exposed and not exposed to gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). Results 7 of the 1333 patients on hormone therapy had an incidence of pancreatitis. 0 of the 615 patients with no history of GAHT use developed pancreatitis. Representing a 6.96 (95% CI 2.76 to 848.78) for the development of pancreatitis in patients with exposure to GAHT therapy. Conclusion Clinicians working with GNC individuals should be aware of this possible association Data are available upon reasonable request.
