Complex gastroschisis was associated with greater days on TPN and LOS. We found no late-gestation stillbirths and a low overall rate of 1.8%, suggesting the risk for stillbirth associated with gastroschisis is lower than previously documented. This information may assist counselling families. Improved data collection worldwide may reveal causative factors and enable antenatal outcome predictors.
