dc.description.abstract	Purpose Some paediatric surgical diseases showed a declining incidence in recent years, among which hypertrophic pyloric stenosis has been particularly striking shortly in the years after the millennium. We aimed to assess whether this development continued over the following decade, as it might offer the chance to better understand the underlying reasons. Methods We analysed data files obtained from the German federal statistics office for principal diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and pyloromyotomies from 2005 to 2017. Changes over time were assessed via linear regression for incidences per 1000 live births. Results In the respective time interval, there were a mean of 1009 pyloromyotomies (95% CI 906–1112) per year, of which a mean of 835 (95% CI 752–917) were performed in boys. The incidence of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis per 1000 live births almost halved between 2005 and 2017: it decreased by 0.12 pylorotomies annually (95% CI 0.09–0.14; P < 0.0001) in boys—from a maximum of 2.96 to a minimum of 1.63–and 0.03 pyloromyotomies annually (95% CI 0.02–0.04; P < 0.0001) in girls—from a maximum of 0.64 to a minimum of 0.28. There was considerable regional variation in incidences between the German länder. Conclusion The decreasing incidence of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis noted around the millenium continued into the following decades. The underlying reasons are unclear, which should prompt further research on the subject matter.	en_GB
