Omphalocele in Finland from 1993 to 2014: Trends, Prevalence, Mortality, and Associated Malformations—A Population-Based Study

This Finnish population-based study spanning 1993-2014 found omphalocele occurs in 4.71 per 10,000 births, with 55% of pregnancies terminated. Isolated cases show 80% survival, but chromosomal abnormalities (present in 9.3%) reduce survival to 17%, driving high termination rates despite good outcomes for isolated defects.
