Factors Influencing The Survival Of Patients With Gastroschisis In A Lower-Middle Income Country: A Retrospective Observational Study (Clinical Research)

Abstract

Survival rate of gastroschisis has improved worldwide due to advancements in antenatal diagnosis, perinatal care and neonatal intensive care. This is in stark contrast with the persistently poor outcomes observed in low and middle-income countries. Aim of this study is to identify factors affecting survival in a resource constraint center, where intensive neonatal care and parenteral nutrition could not be provided.
