The study revealed a significantly higher mortality rate in gastroschisis cases compared to omphalocele cases. Sepsis was identified as the primary cause of death in the neonates. These findings underscore the importance of effective management strategies to prevent and manage sepsis in neonates with abdominal wall defects.
