Decreasing Length of Stay for Simple Gastroschisis: Analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP)

Abstract

Gastroschisis (GS) is the most common abdominal defect in infants, yet lack of consensus has led to variations in its management and outcomes. Length of stay (LOS) is an important measure of surgical quality and efficiency in GS infants. LOS depends on clinical and patient-related factors such as simple (sGS) or complex (cGS), type of surgery, associated complications, and factors such as the use of standardized care protocols.
