The statistical analysis done by Z-test (Difference between two Proportions) Result: Majority of the Patients were in the Age group of >50 i.e. 40.00%, followed by 40-50- 30.00% 30-40- 20.00%, 20-30- 6.66%, 10-20- 3.33%. Majority of the patients were Male i.e. 70.00% and Females were 30.00%. The majority of the Patients associated significantly with Risk factors were; Old age i.e. 66.67 %( Z=5.85, p<0.05. HS) followed by Male sex 70.00% (Z=6.78, p<0.05. HS) H/o Smoking 60.00% (Z=5.28, p<0.05.HS), H/o Diabetes 56.66% (Z=6.1, p<0.05.HS), Obese (BMI>30) 80.00% (Z=5.5, p< 0.05. NS), Wound Infection 63.33% (Z=6.4, p<0.05.HS)Familial Tendencies 73.33% (Z=4.5,p<0.05.HS)Multiple sinus number 83.33% (Z=4.49,p<0.05.HS) Conclusion : Risk factors mostly associated with recurrence of pilonidal sinus in our study were Old age, Male sex, H/o Smoking, H/o Diabetes, Obese (BMI>30), Wound Infection Familial Tendencies, Multiple sinus number.
