['Hirschsprung disease is a multifactorial disease, which is mainly treated during childhood. There is a risk of impaired bowel function for a long time after surgery, and its impact on adult life has not been well studied. This study assessed whether having Hirschsprung disease affected social parameters such as educational level and income.', 'This nationwide, population-based cohort study included all patients with Hirschsprung disease, registered in the Swedish National Patient Register from 1964 and 2013, who were each matched by age and sex to ten individuals randomly selected from the Swedish Population Register. The study outcomes were the highest educational level and individual disposable income in 2013 registered by Statistics Sweden.', 'The study comprised 389 patients and 3847 controls, both 76% male, with a median age of 25\xa0years. There were no statistically significant differences in highest educational level between the groups (p\xa0=\xa00.327). The median individual disposable income was 142\xa0200 (0-817\xa0200) Swedish Krona in the patient group and 159\xa0000 (0-3\xa0418\xa0900) in the control group (p\xa0=\xa00.615).'] Does population-based study show that Hirschsprung disease does not have a negative impact on education and income?
