Outcomes of infants with isolated gastroschisis were not significantly affected by method or site of delivery, diagnostic method, or maternal-fetal surveillance. Although the findings of this investigation were largely negative and the statistical power limited due to the rarity of this fetal disruption, small series of cases of gastroschisis need to be analyzed to resolve current controversies surrounding optimal treatment of gastroschisis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
