Major Congenital Anomalies in Korean Livebirths in 2013-2014: Based on the National Health Insurance Database
CONCLUSION: The proportion of surgeries, preterm births and mortality was high in infants with major congenital anomalies. The establishment of a national registry of congenital anomalies and systematic support by national medical policies are needed for infants with major congenital anomalies in Korea.PMID:37821084 | PMC:PMC10562182 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2023.38.e304 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)

Longitudinal growth of children born with gastroschisis or omphalocele
Conclusion: Children with gastroschisis and omphalocele have distinct growth patterns from fetal life onwards. These growth trajectories may also provide some opportunities to modulate adult health.What is Known:• Intrauterine and postnatal growth failure can be seen frequently in gastroschisis and they often show significant catch-up growth later in infancy. It is assumed that part of the children with gastroschisis will become overweight during later childhood.What is New: • The longitudinal growth of girls and boys with gastroschisis or omphalocele is described separately until the teenage years. The risk of gainin...

Exposure to wildfires and health outcomes of vulnerable people: Evidence from US data
Econ Hum Biol. 2023 Oct 6;51:101311. doi: 10.1016/j.ehb.2023.101311. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the causal effect of wildfire exposure on birth outcomes and older people's health outcomes in United States (US). The study focuses on three sub-questions for each health outcome: (1) the causal effect of each of the five largest wildfires on individual health, (2) the causal impact of multiple large wildfires on individual health outcomes, and (3) the causal influence of wildfires larger than different sizes within different distances of counties on health outcomes at the county level. The analysis e...

Gastroschisis in Sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review of the prevalence, management practices, and associated outcomes
AbstractGastroschisis is a congenital defect of the anterior abdominal wall characterized by a periumbilical abdominal wall defect with associated bowel protrusion. Limitations in the diagnosis and management of gastroschisis in Sub-Saharan African countries contribute to the high mortality rate. Few studies have been published despite its significant contribution to neonatal mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa. This review study explores the prevalence of gastroschisis, likewise the management and clinical outcomes. Full-text articles reporting the prevalence, management, and associated outcomes of gastroschisis in Sub-Sahara...
