Bedside Silo Versus Operative Closure for Gastroschisis

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Gastroschisis

In brief

The hypothesis is that there is no difference between bedside silo placement and operative closure in return of bowel function, ventilator dependence, or length of stay. The primary outcome variable between the two techniques will be determined from this study that can then be used to develop a definitive study. The likely variables will be length of time to meet discharge criteria, length of hospitalization, time to full feedings, time on mechanical ventilation and total hospital charges.
