Maternal Genitourinary Infections and the Risk of Gastroschisis.
Abstract Genitourinary infections (GUIs) have been associated with increased risk of gastroschisis in 2 studies. Using data collected in the Slone Epidemiology Center Birth Defects Study, we examined the association between GUI and gastroschisis. From 1998 to 2010, mothers of 249 gastroschisis cases and 7,104 controls were interviewed within 6 months of delivery about pregnancy events, including vaginal infections, genital herpes, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Women were considered exposed if they reported at least 1 instance of a GUI in the first trimester. Logis...

Factors associated with gastroschisis outcomes.
CONCLUSION: In this contemporary cohort, earlier gestational age at delivery is associated with adverse neonatal outcomes in neonates with gastroschisis. Other variables, such as antenatal ultrasound findings and mode of delivery, did not predict adverse neonatal outcomes. PMID: 25162255 [PubMed - in process]

Perinatal outcomes and hospital costs in gastroschisis based on gestational age at delivery.
CONCLUSION: In pregnancies complicated by gastroschisis, and with no other known major indications, birth at early term or later term gestation, when compared with delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, is associated with improved perinatal outcomes and lower medical costs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: : II. PMID: 25162254 [PubMed - in process]

Timing of Elective Delivery in Gastroschisis: A Decision and Cost Effectiveness Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: In pregnancies complicated by gastroschisis, the most cost-effective timing of delivery is 38 weeks. Few additional cases of RDS are caused for every 1 stillbirth or death within 1 year prevented with delivery at 37-38 weeks. PMID: 25377308 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Fetal Growth Pattern and Prediction of Low Birth Weight in Gastroschisis
Objectives: To examine growth patterns and predictions of low birth weight in gastroschisis fetuses. Methods: This is a retrospective study of isolated fetal gastroschisis before week 24. Ultrasound fetal biometric parameters - head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femur length, HC/AC ratio and estimated fetal weight (EFW) - were plotted against normal growth charts. The percentage difference in mean values between normal and gastroschisis fetuses was determined. The growth deficit for each ultrasound parameter was calculated for the fetuses with 1 examination in each designated period (period I: weeks 20-...

Pre‐ and postnatal modifications in parental mental representations in three cases of fetal gastroschisis diagnosed during pregnancy
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to identify possible effects of gastroschisis on parents’ intrapsychic dynamics by applying an observational clinical approach. More specifically, we intend to (a) evaluate the representational style of parents informed about the diagnosis of fetal gastroschisis during pregnancy using the Interview of Maternal Representations During Pregnancy and the Interview of Paternal Representations During Pregnancy (M. Ammaniti, C. Candelori, M. Pola, & R. Tambelli, ) and (b) observe whether the baby's birth influences the parents’ representational styles through the application of the same ...

Sonographic Detection and Clinical Importance of Growth Restriction in Pregnancies With Gastroschisis
Conclusions— Sonography reliably identified SGA neonates with gastroschisis in our series, and its utility improved with advancing gestation. Apart from delayed closure of the defect, a low birth weight percentile was not associated with an increased risk of morbidity or mortality in the immediate neonatal period.

Successful management of discordant gastroschisis in monochorionic diamniotic twin: a case report.
CONCLUSION: This report expands successful management of discordant gastroschisis in MCDA twins. Early diagnosis, intensive prenatal care, and multidisciplinary consultation are recommended in management of discordant gastroschisis in MCDA twin. PMID: 26411235 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Nutritional management and postoperative prognosis of newborns submitted to primary surgical repair of gastroschisis.
CONCLUSION: Early start of enteral feeding and small, gradual increase of volume can shorten the use of parenteral nutrition. This management strategy contributes to reduce the incidence of infection and length of hospital stay of newborns with gastroschisis. PMID: 26844392 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Management of gastroschisis
Purpose of review: The diagnosis and treatment of gastroschisis spans the perinatal disciplines of maternal fetal medicine, neonatology, and pediatric surgery. Since gastroschisis is one of the commonest and costliest structural birth defects treated in neonatal ICUs, a comprehensive review of its epidemiology, prenatal diagnosis, postnatal treatment, and short and long-term outcomes is both timely and relevant. Recent findings: The incidence of gastroschisis has increased dramatically over the past 20 years, leading to a renewed interest in causation. The widespread availability of maternal screening and ultrasound resul...

Gene variants as risk factors for gastroschisis
In a population‐based case‐control study in California of 228 infants, we investigated 75 genetic variants in 20 genes and risk of gastroschisis with regard to maternal age, race/ethnicity, vitamin use, and smoking exposure. We hypothesized that genes related to vascular compromise may interact with environmental factors to affect the risk of gastroschisis. Haplotypes were constructed for 75 gene variants using the HaploView program. Risk for gastroschisis associated with each gene variant was calculated for both the homozygotes and the heterozygotes, with the homozygous wildtypes as the referent. Risks were estimated ...

Excessive Postoperative Fluid Administration in Infants with Gastroschisis.
Abstract Careful fluid management is a cornerstone of neonatology because the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems in the newborn are sensitive to overhydration. Fluid management in gastroschisis is complicated by insensible fluid loss and postoperative third-space fluid shifts. Study of perioperative fluid management in gastroschisis is limited and has not undergone careful scrutiny. We reviewed perioperative fluid administration and urine output in all infants with gastroschisis over a 5-year period. Data included whether the patient underwent primary closure or staged repair, weight, and ev...

Maternal Antibodies to Herpes Virus Antigens and Risk of Gastroschisis in Offspring.
Abstract Gastroschisis risk is highest in offspring of young women and is increasing in prevalence, suggesting that exposures that are increasingly common among younger females may be causal. Some infections by viruses in the herpes family are more common in the earlier childbearing years and have been increasing in prevalence over time. Data from the Finnish Maternity Cohort were linked to Finnish malformation and birth registers (1987-2012) for this study, a nested case-control study of mothers of offspring with gastroschisis and age-matched controls. Maternal antibody responses in early pregnancy (mean gestatio...
