Ultrasound markers predicting complex gastroschisis and adverse outcome: a longitudinal prospective nationwide cohort study.

However its positive predictive value and therefore the clinical usefulness is limited. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. PMID: 31613023 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
