“…Compared with NH-white women, NH-black and Hispanic women had an 81% and 40% lower risk, respectively, of delivering a live born singleton infant with gastroschisis. Although our findings agree with several studies that found a lower risk of gastroschisis among NH-black women (Canfield et al, 2006;Williams et al, 2005), our observation that Hispanic ethnicity is protective was not consistently reported in previous studies. Using popula- tion-based data on nearly 1000 cases from 11 states with active case-finding, Canfield et al (2006) reported that Hispanic women had a significantly higher unadjusted birth prevalence of gastroschisis compared with NHwhite women (PR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.09-1.43).…”

BACKGROUND:The prevalence of gastroschisis is increasing in many parts of the world, although the etiology is largely unexplained. Young maternal age has been the only consistently identified, strong risk factor. The objective of this study was to examine the role of maternal nativity in relation to other suspected risk factors for gastroschisis in Florida. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of singleton infants born in Florida from 1998-2003. Gastroschisis cases were identified from the Florida Birth Defects Registry. Demographic and perinatal data were obtained from birth records. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each factor of interest. RESULTS: The 6-year birth prevalence of gastroschisis was 3.26 per 10,000 live births, and the annual rate increased 41% during the study period. In addition to maternal age and marital status, maternal race/ethnicity and nativity were significantly associated with the risk of delivering an infant with gastroschisis. Compared with non-Hispanic white women, non-Hispanic black women had the lowest risk of delivering an infant with gastroschisis (PR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.13-0.26), followed by Hispanic women (PR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.43-0.83). Women born outside the United States were significantly less likely than U.S.-born women to deliver an infant with gastroschisis (PR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.41-0.86). CONCLUSIONS: Although young maternal age remains a strong significant risk factor for gastroschisis in Florida, other factors such as maternal race/ ethnicity and nativity could be important in explaining the increasing prevalence of gastroschisis.

“…Infants with gastroschisis were differentiated from infants with other abdominal wall defects, such as omphalocele, using the ICD-9-CM procedure code 54.71, which indicates surgical repair of gastroschisis. This approach to identification of gastroschisis cases has been described previously (Williams et al, 2005).…”

2Gastroschisis and omphalocele are the most common malformation of the anterior abdominal wall. the aim of the study was to determine the abdominal wall defect frequencies, survival, and mortalities in Ahvaz, Khuzestan province of Iran. Materiał and methods. All cases born with omphalocele or gastroschisis whom born in Imam Khomeini hospital, were included in this study. Duration of study was 3 years from April 2005. All patients treated at Imam Khomeini hospital in Ahwaz‚ Iran. Results. Among 15321 consecutive births ‚ 42 patients had abdominal wall deformity. Overall incidence was 27.41 per 10‚000 live births. Of all cases, 18 (42.9%) of cases were male and 24 (57.1%) were female. Of all cases, 21.7% of patients with omphalocele and 10% patients with gastroschisis had other anomalies. Of all cases, 71.8% of patients with omphalocele and 60% with gastroschisis underwent surgery. The type of anomaly (omphalocele and gastroschisis) had correlation with post operation prognosis significantly (p<0.001). Of 66.7% of patients under went surgery ‚ 46.4% with mesh and 53.6% without mesh performed. 80% of patients with omphalocele and 20% with gastroschisis were lived. Conclusions: In our study, mortality was significantly higher in cases with gastroschisis than cases with omphalocele
