Abstract

<bold>Introduction: </bold>The present study aims to investigate the association of spontaneous labor onset with neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis. The secondary goal was to evaluate the association between ultrasound markers and labor onset in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis.<bold>Material and Methods: </bold>A retrospective analysis was performed for 207 pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis between 2005 and 2017. Patients were followed according to a strict protocol involving ultrasound scans and routine evaluations of fetal biophysical profile parameters and intra- and extra-abdominal bowel diameters. Labor, delivery and neonatal records were reviewed. The neonatal outcomes were complex gastroschisis, staged surgical closure of the abdominal defect, short bowel syndrome, time on mechanical ventilation, time to full enteral feeding and necrotizing enterocolitis.<bold>Results: </bold>Spontaneous labor onset was associated with complex gastroschisis (30.7% vs 6.8%, P = 0.002) and short bowel syndrome (13.2% vs none, P = 0.013) in cases with spontaneous preterm delivery compared with the indicated preterm deliveries. Spontaneous labor onset was associated with a longer time on mechanical ventilation for term and preterm newborns. Associations were not observed between ultrasound markers and spontaneous labor onset.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Spontaneous labor onset in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis was associated with adverse neonatal outcomes, particularly in those born preterm.
