In contrast, pain and itching represented the only domain in which parental ratings showed a trend towards underrating compared to the children’s self-reports ( p = 0.099, n = 25).

However, borderline significance was observed for symptoms in both subgroups: gastroschisis (patient’s perspective (mean value of 7.94 with 95% CI of 7.13–8.75) versus parental perspective (mean value of 7.25 with 95% CI of 6.23–8.27, p = 0.052) and omphalocele (patient’s perspective (mean value of 8.64 with 95% CI of 7.29–9.99) versus parental perspective (mean value of 7.45 with 95% CI of 6.58–8.32, p = 0.058).
Moreover, adjusted analysis regarding surgical interventions after abdominal wall closure in gastroschisis patients (with n = 7 patients with following abdominal surgery and n = 10 patients without any further surgery) failed to reach significance.
