“…a The table shows that imperforate anus is the most common anomaly in both periods. In the past, omphalocele was clearly the most common type of newborn abdominal wall defect; however, the global incidence of gastroschisis seems to be increasing as noted from reports of some studies [10][11][12]. In our study, in both periods, mortality rate from gastroschisis was higher than omphalocele, which differs from Salihu et al's study [9].…”

“…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, ; B. G. Benjamin et al, ; Bugge et al, ; Chabra et al, ; Hougland et al, ; Jones et al, ; Kirby, ; Kirby et al, ; Laughon et al, ; St Louis et al, ; Williams, Kucik, Alverson, Olney, & Correa, ). The prevalence of gastroschisis also differs by maternal race/ethnicity, with lower prevalence among infants born to NH black mothers compared to Hispanic mothers and NH white mothers (B. G. Benjamin et al, ; Chabra et al, ; Jones et al, ; Kirby, ; Salemi et al, ; Williams et al, ).…”

“…Other maternal and infant characteristics have been suggested to be associated with gastroschisis. Specifically, mothers of infants born with gastroschisis are more likely to be underweight (i.e., BMI <18 kg/m 2 ; Kirby et al, ), nulliparous (B. G. Benjamin et al, ; Vu et al, ), and low gravida (Hougland et al, ). Gastroschisis prevalence has not been shown to differ significantly by infant sex (Kirby et al, ), however, infants with gastroschisis are more likely to be preterm and low/very low birth weight (Anderson et al, ; Boutros, Regier, Skarsgard, & Canadian Pediatric Surgery Network, ; Bugge et al, ).…”

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.

“…To that effect, a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of the medical history, particularly of the pregnancy, is essential to detect maternal risk factors, which may be involved in the occurrence of an AWD . Several studies show a significant increase in the incidence of newborns with AWD in recent decades . There is a subsidence that a variety of factors showed a probable coincidence.…”

In the last decades, the prevalence of gastroschisis (GS) has increased worldwide. The purpose of this study was to identify maternal risk factors explaining the described gain and to identify differences between GS and omphalocele (OC). A case‐control design was used to compare GS (n = 36) and OC (n = 18) mothers to control group (CG; n = 30) matched for maternal age. Specialized questionnaires and mothers' prenatal records were used, and participants completed a structured interview. Focus was on medical history, changing nutrition, drug consumption, and external risk factors. The local ethics committee approved this study. GS mothers were significantly younger (mean 23.00; median 24; SD ±5) than OC (P = 0.007; mean 28.61; median 28, 19‐41; SD ±5.1) and CG (P = 0.001; mean 30.77; median 31, SD ±6.2). Mothers with abdominal wall defects (AWD) ingested antibiotics more often (P = 0.008) than CG. Socioeconomic characteristics, for example, level of profession, of GS mothers was significantly lower than OC (P = 0.039) and CG (P = 0.05) mothers, and their cohabitation time was shorter (P < 0.05; mean 35 month/median 24 month, SD ±35.8). Incidence of OC significantly increased after hormonal treatment (P = 0.022) and invasive prenatal diagnostics (P < 0.05) compared to GS. GS mothers took folic acid prophylaxis less often than OC (P = 0.02). Smoking, illicit drugs, and external risks like herbicides showed no influence, but GS mothers drink significantly more often alcohol (P = 0.05). We confirmed an increased risk for GS if several factors such as young maternal age, short cohabitation time, and usage of antibiotics coincide with alcohol consumption and associated immune diseases. OC increased after hormonal treatment and invasive prenatal diagnostics.
