Purpose: Renal ultrasounds are performed in patients with myelomeningocele to screen for markers of kidney health, including hydronephrosis. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of hydronephrosis to screen for low kidney function defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study using data from 2 cohorts of children and youth with myelomeningocele.

Objective: To determine which statistical techniques enhance our ability to predict ambulation and transfer ability in people with spina bifida (SB).
Design: Retrospective cohort study SETTING: 35 United States outpatient SB clinic sites PARTICIPANTS: individuals (n=4,589) with SB ages 5-73 (median age =13.59) INTERVENTION: not applicable MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: ambulation ability, which consisted of the following categories: community ambulators, household ambulators, therapeutic ambulators, and non-ambulators SECONDARY OUTCOME: wheelchair transfer ability, as defined by the ability to transfer in and out of a wheelchair unassisted RESULTS: A Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) utilizing a multilayer perceptron discarded 76 cases during case processing, resulting in 4513 that were run through the RNN.

Background: Spina bifida (SB) is a chronic condition requiring lifelong self-management, underscoring the need to establish a dedicated cohort for longitudinal monitoring of health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to describe the development and initial implementation of a single-center prospective cohort study of children with SB and their parents living in South Korea and to describe demographics, clinical outcomes, psychosocial characteristics, and family data for this cohort.
Methods: This cohort was established through expert panel formation, identification of health indicators based on the Life Course Model for Spina Bifida, creation of a cohort database system, and quality control planning.

Objective: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a lifelong condition requiring complex multidisciplinary management. Using the National Spina Bifida Patient Registry (NSBPR), the authors tested the association between sociodemographic variables and odds of undergoing neurosurgical procedures.
Methods: The authors extracted sociodemographic, clinical, and neurosurgical procedure data on participants with MMC aged ≥ 1 year who visited an NSBPR clinic between 2009 and 2020.

Objective: Interdisciplinary care and pediatric to adult transitional programs have consistently shown medical and social value for individuals with complex medical conditions such as spina bifida (SB). Such interdisciplinary clinics are common in pediatrics but are rarely offered for adults. This survey-based study reports information related to transition, daily pain burden, and satisfaction with care delivery in an adult SB clinic.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to conduct a literature review on transition programs from pediatric to adult care and the role of neurosurgery as individuals with spina bifida (SB) transition, and to provide a framework for neurosurgical providers to assist in the transition to adult-centered care.
Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted according to the PRISMA statement, with a search in Medline and Embase to identify US clinical programs reporting on their experiences establishing a transition program for adolescents and young adults with SB. Data were collected for authors, year, transition clinic location, model of care for transition clinic, ages served, and specialty clinical team.

Introduction: Chorioamniotic membrane separation (CMS) is a known complication after fetal spina bifida (fSB) repair. This study's goal was to analyze women's outcomes with open fSB repair and CMS (group A) compared to the ones without (group B) and to assess the influence of CMS size and patient management.
Methods: A total of 194 women with open fSB repair at our center were included in this retrospective study.
