Objectives: Previous gastroschisis specific neurodevelopmental studies have focused on the first 3years of life. The aim of this study was to assess the intellectual, behavioral and neurological outcomes of older children and adolescents born with gastroschisis.
Study Design: Of 99 gastroschisis survivors born in Western Australia, 1992 to 2005, and who were at least 5years old, 42 agreed to take part in this study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the health and development of children who survived gastroschisis, focusing on their physical and metabolic outcomes at an average age of 9.
- Out of 50 children assessed, over half needed further surgeries, and many experienced abdominal pain, with some being hospitalized; however, most showed improvements in growth metrics.
- Children with complex gastroschisis had poorer growth outcomes compared to those with simple gastroschisis, and a notable percentage had elevated cholesterol levels and vitamin/mineral deficiencies, highlighting ongoing health challenges.
Objective: To estimate the long-term effects of anemia on the fetal heart by echocardiography of children who received intrauterine blood transfusions for red cell isoimmunization.
Methods: Surviving children who received intrauterine transfusions during the period from 1992 to 2003 were identified. Children matched for age and sex were chosen for the control group to create a 1:1 case-control study design.
