Gastroschisis has a low mortality rate. However, infants with short gut or bowel atresia experience prolonged total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and hospitalization, indicating significant complications.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Care

Background:

  • Gastroschisis is a congenital abdominal wall defect.
  • Understanding outcomes and risk factors is crucial for improving infant care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent experience with gastroschisis.
  • Analyze factors influencing mortality, morbidity, and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 49 infant admissions over 13 years (1980-1993).
  • Analysis of factors impacting total parenteral nutrition (TPN) duration, hospital stay, mortality, and sepsis.

Main Results:

  • Low mortality (4%), with deaths associated with bowel atresia.
  • Short gut/resection and bowel atresia significantly increased TPN duration and hospital stay.

  • Central venous line use was a significant risk factor for systemic sepsis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Gastroschisis generally has a favorable prognosis with low mortality.
    • Infants with specific complications (short gut, bowel atresia) face prolonged TPN and hospitalization with increased morbidity.
