“…The overall prevalence estimates presented in this data brief for both gastroschisis and omphalocele are consistent with those previously reported in the literature (Mai et al, 2015;Springett et al, 2014;St Louis et al, 2017;Vo & Langlois, 2015;Vu et al, 2008). Variations in prevalence by maternal race/ethnicity, maternal age at delivery, maternal prepregnancy BMI, infant sex, and infant birth weight also largely reflect previously reported estimates (Anderson et al, 2018;Kirby, 2017;Kirby et al, 2013). Our results support the findings of Marshall et al (2015), who reported an increase in omphalocele in infants of older mothers.…”

“…Omphalocele prevalence estimates are roughly one-half those of gastroschisis, but the omphalocele prevalence may be underestimated due to the higher proportion of fetal deaths and terminations of omphalocele cases compared to gastroschisis (Akhtar et al, 2012;Brantberg et al, 2004;Kuleva et al, 2012;Perry et al, 2017;Springett et al, 2014). In addition, infants with omphalocele are more likely to be early preterm deliveries and have very low birth weights compared to infants with gastroschisis (Anderson et al, 2018;Bugge et al, 2017;Feldkamp et al, 2016;Marshall et al, 2015). Despite the increase in prevalence of gastroschisis that has been well-documented in the literature, it is clear that omphalocele also presents a large burden for families and the healthcare system.…”

“…Reasons for the increasing prevalence in gastroschisis are unknown; however, several risk factors are associated with this defect, especially young maternal age. An increasing prevalence of gastroschisis among younger mothers, especially under 24 years of age, has consistently been documented, and young maternal age has been recognized as one of the strongest risk factors for gastroschisis (Anderson et al, 2018;B. G. Benjamin et al, 2010;Bugge et al, 2017;Chabra et al, 2011;Hougland et al, 2005;Jones et al, 2016;Kirby, 2017;Kirby et al, 2013;Laughon et al, 2003;St Louis et al, 2017;Williams, Kucik, Alverson, Olney, & Correa, 2005).…”

Background/Objectives: In this report, the National Birth Defects Prevention Network (NBDPN) examines and compares gastroschisis and omphalocele for a recent 5-year birth cohort using data from 30 population-based birth defect surveillance programs in the United States. Methods: As a special call for data for the 2019 NBDPN Annual Report, state programs reported expanded data on gastroschisis and omphalocele for birth years 2012–2016. We estimated the overall prevalence (per 10,000 live births) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each defect as well as by maternal race/ethnicity, maternal age, infant sex, and case ascertainment methodology utilized by the program (active vs. passive). We also compared distribution of cases by maternal and infant factors and presence/absence of other birth defects. Results: The overall prevalence estimates (per 10,000 live births) were 4.3 (95% CI:4.1–4.4) for gastroschisis and 2.1 (95% CI: 2.0–2.2) for omphalocele. Gastroschisis was more frequent among young mothers (<25 years) and omphalocele more common among older mothers (>40 years). Mothers of infants with gastroschisis were more likely to be underweight/normal weight prior to pregnancy and mothers of infants with omphalocele more likely to be overweight/obese. Omphalocele was twice as likely as gastroschisis to co-occur with other birth defects. Conclusions: This report highlights important differences between gastroschisis and omphalocele. These differences indicate the importance of distinguishing between these defects in epidemiologic assessments. The report also provides additional data on co-occurrence of gastroschisis and omphalocele with other birth defects. This information can provide a basis for future research to better understand these defects.

“…[3][4][5] Gastroschisis occurs in 2.1 to 5.3 per 10,000 live births. 2,[6][7][8] For reasons unknown, the worldwide birth prevalence of gastroschisis has increased dramatically over the last decades, but these studies have lacked the total prevalence. 2,7,8 The most consistent risk factor for gastroschisis is young maternal age, but interestingly the incidence is increasing in all age groups, not only in younger women.…”

Gastroschisis in Finland 1993 to 2014—Increasing Prevalence, High Rates of Abortion, and Survival: A Population-Based Study

et al. 2019

Introduction The study aims to assess the changes in prevalence and mortality of gastroschisis, and to identify associated anomalies. Materials and Methods It is a population-based nationwide study. All gastroschisis cases were identified in the Finnish Register of Congenital Malformations and the Care Register for Health Care from 1993 to 2014 including live births, stillbirths, and terminations of pregnancy due to fetal anomalies. Associated anomalies were recorded, and analyzed, and prevalence and infant mortality were calculated. Results There were 320 cases of gastroschisis; 235 (73%) live births, 16 (5%) stillbirths, and 69 (22%) terminations of pregnancy. Live birth prevalence of gastroschisis in Finland was lower than generally reported (1.73 in 10,000). However, due to relatively high rates of abortion, our total prevalence of 2.57/10,000 was similar with other reports. The most common risk factor was young maternal age. Babies with gastroschisis were born prematurely, on average on the 36th week and most are delivered by caesarean section. There was a significant increasing trend in live birth prevalence (p = 0.0018). Overall infant mortality was 7.7% (18/235), 7.2% (16/222) in simple gastroschisis and 15% (2/13) in complex gastroschisis. Associated anomalies were rare both in aborted fetuses and neonates, and there was only one case with a chromosomal abnormality. Conclusion Gastroschisis is usually an isolated anomaly with increasing birth prevalence and excellent survival rates. Regardless of the good prognosis, the abortion rates in Finland are higher than previously reported, and we hypothesize this to be due to lack of appropriate antenatal counselling.

“…Gastroschisis is a common congenital defect [1]. The incidence of gastroschisis has increased three-fold over the last two decades in some regions [2]. While infants born with gastroschisis usually undergo abdominal closure within several days of birth, their mean hospital stay in the intensive care unit is greater than 30 days.…”
