Perinatal outcomes after open fetal surgery for myelomeningocele repair: a retrospective cohort study.

Other variables showed an improvement in perinatal outcome but some did not reach statistical significance: pulmonary oedema (3.8 versus 1.5%), gestational age at birth (33.4 ± 2.6 versus 33.7 ± 2.2 weeks), gestational age at birth less than 30 weeks (8.7 versus 5.3%), interval between surgery and delivery (51.6 ± 17.9 versus 52.5 ± 16.5 days), birthweight (2173 ± 533 versus 2195 ± 486 g), preterm labour (27.9 versus 21.2%), PPROM (32.7 versus 22.0%), chorioamniotic membrane separation (26.0 versus 16.7%), chorioamnionitis (5.8 versus 0.8%), dehiscence at repair site (2.9 versus 2.3%), perinatal mortality (3.8 versus 0.8%).
