Omphalocele in Finland from 1993 to 2014: Trends, Prevalence, Mortality, and Associated Malformations-A Population-Based Study

Arimatias Raitio et al.

Summary: Omphalocele is a rare congenital anomaly often associated with other malformations. The study found a high rate of termination of pregnancy in cases of omphalocele, with a particularly high proportion of chromosomal abnormalities in terminated pregnancies. However, in cases without chromosomal defects, survival rates are reasonably good.

Abdominal Wall Defects-Current Treatments

Isabella N. Bielicki et al.

Summary: Gastroschisis and omphalocele are common abdominal wall defects in newborns, with postnatal care focusing on defect coverage, avoiding fluid loss, fluid administration, and gastric decompression. Definitive treatment involves reducing the defect and closing the abdominal wall, with techniques and timing varying based on the defect type, size, abdominal domain, and child's comorbidities. This review aims to provide an overview of current treatments.

Statistical Analysis of the Main Risk Factors of an Unfavorable Evolution in Gastroschisis

Elena Tarca et al.

Summary: The study identified that low birth weight, development of abdominal compartment syndrome, sepsis, and bronchopneumonia significantly increase the risk of death in gastroschisis patients. These four factors contributed 47.6% of the overall death risk. Despite improvements in survival rates over the past 30 years, there is still room for improvement in certain factors for better outcomes.

Omphalocele: national current birth prevalence and survival

Anna Fogelstrom et al.

Summary: The study included 207 cases of omphalocele (42% females) with a birth prevalence of 1/10,000 live births. Approximately 62% of cases had associated malformations and/or genetic disorders, with ventricular septal defect being the most common. The mortality rate within the first year was 13%, and the termination rate of pregnancy was 59%.

Socio-Epidemiological Factors with Negative Impact on Infant Morbidity, Mortality Rates, and the Occurrence of Birth Defects

Elena Tarca et al.

Summary: The study found that Romania ranks first in the European Union in infant mortality rates, making it a top priority to lower infant morbidity, mortality, and congenital malformation rates. Effective measures including food supplementation, counseling, monitoring of pregnancies, prenatal diagnosis, optimal delivery management, and health education are essential in addressing these concerns.

Birth prevalence of congenital anomalies in Argentina, according to socioeconomic level

Ruben Bronberg et al.

Summary: The birth prevalence of congenital anomalies in Argentina is estimated to be around 1.7%, with public hospitals showing higher prevalence compared to private hospitals. Specific anomalies such as anencephaly, encephalocele, and hydrocephalus were more prevalent in public hospitals, while critical heart defects and chromosomal anomalies had higher prevalence in private hospitals. This study highlights the importance of addressing the needs of vulnerable populations affected by congenital anomalies through targeted policies and resource allocation.
