Objective: To provide generalizable estimates for expected outcomes of simple gastroschisis (SG) and complex gastroschisis (CG) patients from a large multi-institutional cohort for use during counseling.
Study Design: A retrospective study of 394 neonates with gastroschisis at 11 children's hospitals from January 2013 to March 2017 was performed. Analysis by Fisher's exact tests and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were performed. Outcomes of complex and simple gastroschisis are reported.
Result: There were 315 (80%) SG and 79 (20%) CG. CG had increased time from birth to closure (6 vs 4.4 days), closure to goal feeds (69 vs 23 days), ventilator use (90% vs 73%), SSIs (31% vs 11%), NEC (14% vs 6%), PN use (71 vs 24 days), LOS (104.5 vs 33 days), and mortality (11% vs 0%).
Conclusion: This study provides generalizable estimates for expected outcomes of patients with both SG and CG that can be utilized during counseling. CG has significantly worse in-hospital outcomes.

Burkholderia cenocepacia outbreak linked to taps in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Infect Dis Health
February 2025
Infection Prevention and Epidemiology, Monash Health, Clayton Australia; Monash University, Clayton, Australia; South East Public Health Unit, Monash Health, Clayton, Australia.
Background: Burkholderia cenocepacia complex is an important cause of hospital acquired infections. We describe the management of an outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to tap colonisation.
Methods: Microbiological testing of touch (n = 26) and non-touch taps (n = 28), sinks and drains, including genomic sequencing of selected isolates.
Predictors of outcomes in infants with gastroschisis treated with a preformed silo.

Department of Women and Children's Health, School of Life Course Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, King's College London, London, UK.
Purpose: To describe the outcomes of infants with gastroschisis treated with a preformed silo (PFS) and determine whether routinely measured early physiological parameters, sepsis (blood culture positive), gastroschisis complexity or location of birth influenced the length of stay (LOS) and duration of parenteral nutrition (PN).
Methods: Infants cared for in a tertiary surgical neonatal intensive care unit during a 10-year period were identified.
Results: Seventy-seven infants were assessed [median gestational age 36 + 6 (IQR 35 + 3 to 38 + 0)] weeks.
Prenatal Ultrasound Markers of Adverse Perinatal Outcomes in Newborns With Simple and Complex Gastroschisis.
J Clin Ultrasound
November 2024
Department of Obstetrics, Paulista School of Medicine, Federal University of São Paulo (EPM-UNIFESP), São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare prenatal ultrasound markers and perinatal outcomes in newborns with simple and complex gastroschisis.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on pregnant women with gastroschisis fetuses and their respective newborns between 2009 and 2019. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the best prenatal ultrasound markers of complex gastroschisis and adverse perinatal outcomes.
Assessment of transfer-time and time-to-surgery as risk factors to survival in Gastroschisis (GS) in a LMIC; an eight-year review.

Department of Paediatric Surgery, Kasr AlAiny Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University Specialized Paediatric Hospital, Cairo University, Ali Ibrahim Street, Mounira, Cairo, 11241, Egypt.
Background: The management of Gastroschisis in LMICs continues to be a challenge and is associated with very poor outcomes in contrast with HICs where survival rates near 100%. The purpose of this work is to provide an overview of survival over the past 8 years in a high-flow tertiary centre in Africa. It also investigates the effect of transfer-time and time-to-surgery on outcome.

Introduction: Anterior abdominal wall defects (AWDs), such as gastroschisis or omphalocele, are often diagnosed prenatally and counseled to deliver at facilities with resources capable of managing their AWD and complex-associated anomalies. The American College of Surgeons instituted their Children's Surgery Verification (CSV) program to identify facilities with the optimal resources for pediatric surgical care. We aimed to evaluate the impact of CSV status on the outcomes of AWD and potential health disparities in the care of AWD in the first year of life in Texas.
