Abstract:
Selection of outcome determinants and risk stratification are necessary to identify patients at higher risk for morbidity and mortality. This facilitates human and material resource allocation and allows for improved family counseling. While several different factors, including prenatal ultrasonographic bowel features, the timing and mode of delivery, and the features of bowel injury have been investigated in gastroschisis, there is still significant debate as to which of these best predicts outcome. This article reviews the different outcome predictors and risk prognostication schemata currently available in the literature to help guide clinicians caring for infants with gastroschisis.

Outcomes of Glycolysis
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...
Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
