Article Synopsis
  • Quality of life (QoL) in female breast cancer patients is dynamic and can change over time, influenced by various factors, yet current literature on predicting QoL is limited.
  • The proposed meta-analysis will systematically review studies assessing QoL through commonly used questionnaires for women who have undergone mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery, focusing on mental status, physical functioning, and social interactions.
  • The research will extract key information about participants (like age and surgery type) to analyze trends in QoL scores and identify predictors that may help stratify patients at risk for significant QoL decline.

Objective: To evaluate prenatal ultrasound markers for distinguishing simple gastroschisis (sGS) from complex gastroschisis (cGS) and identifying fetuses at risk of complications.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study analyzed 61 fetuses with isolated gastroschisis at a tertiary center from 2011 to 2021, utilizing serial ultrasounds from 14 to 35 weeks' gestation. A general linear model, quantile regression, and logistic regression assessed ultrasound markers, fetal weeks, and gastroschisis risk, yielding predictive models.

A retrospective study of 61 neonates with prenatal gastroschisis diagnosis, birth, and management at a single tertiary centre from 2011 to 2021 showed a 96.72% survival rate with no intrauterine fatalities.
