Abstract
Purpose: To describe the outcomes of infants with gastroschisis treated with a preformed silo (PFS) and determine whether routinely measured early physiological parameters, sepsis (blood culture positive), gastroschisis complexity or location of birth influenced the length of stay (LOS) and duration of parenteral nutrition (PN).
Methods: Infants cared for in a tertiary surgical neonatal intensive care unit during a 10-year period were identified.
Results: Seventy-seven infants were assessed [median gestational age 36 + 6 (IQR 35 + 3 to 38 + 0)] weeks. All survived; 82% were inborn. The median LOS was 37 (IQR 28-76.5) days and duration of PN was 28 (IQR 21-53) days. In the first 72 h, the worst median lactate, base excess and 'toe-core' gap were 4.2 (IQR 3.0-5.8) mmol/l, -7.0 (IQR - 5.55 to - 9.35), 3.4 (IQR 3.0-4.2) °C respectively. There were no significant correlations between early physiological parameters or place of birth and LOS or PN days, but sepsis (n = 18 infants) and complex gastroschisis (n = 13 infants) were associated with an increased LOS and PN duration (both p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Survival was 100% in infants with gastroschisis who were managed with PFS, sepsis and gastroschisis complexity were associated with a longer hospital stay and duration of parenteral nutrition. Level of Evidence (I-V): IV.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Surgery International is a journal devoted to the publication of new and important information from the entire spectrum of pediatric surgery. The major purpose of the journal is to promote postgraduate training and further education in the surgery of infants and children.
The contents will include articles in clinical and experimental surgery, as well as related fields. One section of each issue is devoted to a special topic, with invited contributions from recognized authorities. Other sections will include:
-Review articles-
Original articles-
Technical innovations-
Letters to the editor
