A Clinical Outcomes Data Archive for a Comprehensive Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment Center.

Introduction: Data on near- and long-term clinical outcomes are critical for the care of all maternal-fetal patients presenting to a fetal center. This is especially important since physiologic and neurodevelopmental attributes do not manifest until later childhood when multilevel (e.g.

Neonatal Outcomes of Multiple Congenital Thoracic Lesions.

Introduction: Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM), intra- and extralobar bronchopulmonary sequestrations (iBPS/eBPS), CPAM-BPS hybrid lesions (HL), congenital lobar emphysema (CLE), bronchial atresia (BA), and foregut duplication cysts (FDC), collectively referred to as congenital thoracic lesions (CTL), are mostly solitary. Patients with multiple CTL are rare, and reports on such cases are scarce. To address this dearth, we analyzed a large multifocal CTL patient cohort.

Capacity planning for maternal-fetal medicine using discrete event simulation.

Background: Maternal-fetal medicine is a rapidly growing field requiring collaboration from many subspecialties. We provide an evidence-based estimate of capacity needs for our clinic, as well as demonstrate how simulation can aid in capacity planning in similar environments.

Methods: A Discrete Event Simulation of the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment and Special Delivery Unit at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia was designed and validated.
