Accuracy and impact of prenatal diagnosis in infants with omphalocele.

Background: Associated anomalies in omphalocele are common, but to which extent these anomalies are diagnosed before or after birth is less well documented.

Aim: To investigate the different types of associated anomalies, long-term survival and the extent whether these are diagnosed pre- or postnatally in children with a prenatal diagnosis of omphalocele at a single institution.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of all pregnancies with omphalocele managed and/or born at our institution between 2006 and 2016.

Routine pregnancy ultrasound scans can detect malformations. Multidisciplinary care of both the foetus and parent is required following diagnosed malformations In Sweden, all women are invited to at least one ultrasound examination during pregnancy. The »Routine ultrasound screening« is usually performed by a midwife around 18 weeks of gestation.

Differences in Outcomes in Prenatally Diagnosed Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Compared to Postnatal Detection: A Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: To compare outcomes in pregnancies with a prenatal detection of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) with children diagnosed after birth, treated at the same institution, and to determine the ability to predict prognosis through measurements of the observed to expected lung-to-head ratio (O/E LHR).

Methods: This is a retrospective review of all children with CDH treated at our institution during 2006-2014. We compared outcomes of infants referred for surgery after postnatal diagnosis with outcomes of infants with prenatally diagnosed CDH.

Outcomes in infants with prenatally diagnosed gastroschisis and planned preterm delivery.

Background: The timing and mode of delivery of pregnancies with prenatally diagnosed gastroschisis remains controversial.

Aim: To evaluate the outcome of patients with gastroschisis managed during two time periods: 2006-2009 and 2010-2014, with planned elective cesarean delivery at 37 versus 35 gestational weeks (gw). A secondary aim was to analyze the outcome in relation to the gestational age at birth.
