Multiple cytokine analysis in gastroschisis: Association with adverse outcomes including fetal brain damage.

CONCLUSIONS: We investigated the cytokine characteristics of both amniotic fluid and cord blood in gastroschisis, and found that certain cytokines could affect the adverse outcomes, including fetal brain damage. These findings provide important information that could further clarify the pathophysiology of gastroschisis and propose a novel clinical implication of gastroschisis that could be used to predict adverse outcomes, especially neurodevelopmental disorders.
