An observational study in Gastroschisis, Neonatal Disease and Hernia, Umbilical, sponsored by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 1 Minute to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-28.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand · Observational
The investigators aim to analyze the management of children born with gastroschisis between January 2009 and December 2023, i.e. to evaluate post-operative follow-up, hospitalization costs, the risk of post-operative umbilical hernia, and the parents' and the child's appreciation of the scar.
Gastroschisis is an abdominal wall anomaly that affects 3 in 10,000 live births, and in over 90% of cases is diagnosed before birth. In fetuses with gastroschisis, the intestine protrudes through a defect in the abdominal wall, usually to the right of the umbilical cord. Although the survival rate of live newborns with gastroschisis is over 90%, the risk of intrauterine fetal death is still 7.5 times higher than in the normal population, and gastroschisis can cause significant morbidity during the neonatal period.
The scientific literature suggests multiple options for each stage in the care of children with gastroschisis, both pre- and postnatally. Heterogeneity of practice exists even within the same geographical area, and deserves to be analyzed.
In this context, the investigators wish to analyze the management of children born with gastroschisis between January 2009 and December 2023, i.e. to evaluate post-operative follow-up, hospitalization costs, the risk of post-operative umbilical hernia, and the parents' and the child's appreciation of the scar.
