Unlabelled: Normal childhood growth is an indicator of good health, but data addressing the growth of children born with abdominal wall defects (AWDs) are limited. The detailed growth phenotypes of children born with gastroschisis or omphalocele are described and compared to peers without AWDs from birth to adolescence. Data from 183 gastroschisis and 144 omphalocele patients born between 1993 and 2017 were gathered from Finnish nationwide registers and electronic health records.

Methods: Data of neonates born with gastroschisis between the years 1993 and 2015 were collected. The national registers and patient records of four Finnish University Hospitals were retrospectively reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate treatment methods for gastroschisis across four university hospitals in Finland, analyzing data from neonates born between 1993 and 2015.
- A total of 154 patients were examined, with key outcomes such as mortality and length of stay showing no significant differences among hospitals, but variations were noted in mechanical ventilation duration and other postoperative factors.
- The results indicated that while short and long-term mortality rates were similar, there were notable differences in some postoperative outcomes among the hospitals, leading to the conclusion that hospital choice didn't impact mortality but affected other aspects of care.
The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic factors for the outcome of gastroschisis in Finland. A retrospective multicenter study of gastroschisis patients born between 1993 and 2015 in four Finnish university hospitals was undertaken, collecting perinatal, surgical, and clinical data of neonates for uni- and multifactorial modeling analysis. The aim of the present study was to identify risk factors for mortality and the composite adverse outcome (death and/or short bowel syndrome or hospital stay > 60 days).

Materials And Methods: A population-based nationwide register study. All cases with omphalocele were identified in the Finnish Register of Congenital Malformations and the Care Register for Health Care from 1993 to 2014 including live births, stillbirths, and terminations of pregnancy due to fetal anomalies.
