Predictors of outcomes in infants with gastroschisis treated with a preformed silo

Topic overview

Key takeaways

• Preformed silo management achieved 100% survival in 77 gastroschisis infants over 10 years at a tertiary NICU.
• Early physiological parameters (lactate, base excess, toe-core gap) did not predict length of stay or parenteral nutrition duration.
• Sepsis and complex gastroschisis significantly increased both hospital stay and parenteral nutrition requirements (p<0.001).
• Median hospital stay was 37 days with 28 days of parenteral nutrition for gastroschisis managed with preformed silo.
• Place of birth (inborn vs outborn) did not significantly affect clinical outcomes in gastroschisis patients.
