Gastroschisis Prevalence and Co-occurring Malformations Among Danish Live Births During 1994–2021: A Nationwide Register-Based Study
Topic overview
This nationwide Danish registry study examines gastroschisis prevalence trends and associated congenital malformations in live births over 28 years (1994-2021). Understanding co-occurring defects is critical for surgical planning and neonatal intensive care management of these complex cases.
Key takeaways
- Gastroschisis prevalence has been rising for decades in Denmark, increasing demand for neonatal surgical and long-term care resources.
- Co-occurring malformations complicate gastroschisis management and should be systematically screened for at birth.
- 28-year Danish registry data (1994–2021) provides population-level insights into gastroschisis epidemiology and associated anomalies.
- Understanding co-malformation patterns helps clinicians anticipate complications and plan multidisciplinary care for gastroschisis patients.
