PURPOSE: To determine the progress, physical and metabolic outcomes of @entity6675 survivors. METHODS: Fifty @entity1 born with @entity6675 were assessed with a health questionnaire, physical assessment, bone density and nutritional blood parameters at a median age of 9years (range 5-17). RESULTS: After initial abdominal closure, 27/50 (54%) required additional surgical interventions. Ten (20%) @entity1 had complex @entity6675 (CG). @entity490 was common: weekly in 41%; and requiring hospitalization in 30%. The weight, length and head circumference z-scores improved by a median 0.88 (p=0.001), 0.56 (p=0.006) and 0.74 (p=0.018) of a standard deviation (SD) respectively from birth; 24% were overweight or @entity28 at follow up. However, those with CG had significantly lower median weight z-scores (-0.43 v 0.49, p=0.0004) and body mass index (BMI) (-0.48 v 0.42, p=0.001) at follow up compared to @entity1 with simple @entity6675 . @entity165 levels were elevated in 24% of @entity1 . Bone mineral density was reassuring. There were 15 instances of low blood vitamin and mineral levels. CONCLUSIONS: Although @entity6675 survival levels are high, many @entity1 have significant ongoing morbidity. @entity1 with simple @entity6675 showed significant catch up growth and a quarter had become overweight.
