Postnatal outcome in gastroschisis: effect of birth weight and gestational age
چکیده انگلیسی

IntroductionEarly elective delivery of antenatally diagnosed gastroschisis has been proposed as a strategy to minimize postnatal morbidity. This hypothesis was tested by analyzing outcome in relationship to gestational age and birth weight at delivery.MethodsSingle-center retrospective review of infants born with gastroschisis over a 13-year period (January 1993-December 2005). Standard outcome measures were compared using nonparametric methods. Data are quoted as median values (range).ResultsThe study population consisted of 110 infants with gastroschisis. They were divided according to gestational age (group A, <35 weeks; group B, 35-37 weeks; group C, >37 weeks) and birth weight (group D, <2 kg; group E, 2-2.5 kg; group F, >2.5 kg).Duration in hospital (P < .01) and time to full enteral feeding (P = .05) was increased in group A vs groups B and C. In comparison, duration in hospital (P < .01), days ventilated (P = .03), establishment of full feeds (P = .01), and parentral nutrition (P = .02) were all prolonged in group D vs groups E and F.Six (5%) infants died (group D, n = 3; group E, n = 3). Necrotizing enterocolitis was found in 7 infants, and confined to groups D and E (χ2 for trend P = .06).ConclusionThere is no evidence that prematurity confers an advantage in restitution of gastrointestinal function in infants with gastroschisis; indeed, the opposite appears true. Birth weight, rather than gestational age, appears a better predictor of outcome.
