Topic overview
Gastroschisis is a congenital abdominal wall defect that has increased in prevalence at birth globally over the past three decades. Despite advancements in neonatal care, gaps remain in understanding the long-term outcomes and factors driving differences between simple (SG) and complex gastroschisis (CG). Previous studies have highlighted disparities in morbidity and mortality between these two groups but lack consistent data over extended periods. This study aims to address these gaps by evaluating outcomes over a 30-year period, hypothesizing that differences in clinical outcomes exist between SG and CG.
