The problem of Gastroschisis is becoming common and an increase in the number of cases is observed every year. You will just be surprised to know that 1 out of 2229 babies in the US is affected by this disease and cases are more severe if viewed on the state level. And the worse thing is that there is no recognition of the defect and its causes are also not known. So, to bring changes, raise awareness and promote research on the disease, July 30th is observed as the Gastroschisis Awareness Day.

What is Gastroschisis?

Many of you may not be aware that what Gastroschisis is. Actually, it is a birth defect in which a hole is caused in the abdominal wall, which in turn causes the intestines and other body organs to protrude. Gastroschisis is not an easy fix; it needs to be fixed surgically soon after the birth. However, immediate surgery is not possible in all the cases as a number of factors are required to be considered. Moreover, the surgery complications and related infections lead to 10% mortality rate, even with the best medical care. Here are some statistics about the problem:

1. In the US, 1 out of 2229 babies is born with Gastroschisis.

2. Though the disease can be treated through surgery, but mortality rate still exists. And, those who survive through the problem, face debilitating conditions, like short bowel syndrome, slow growth, organ transplants, long-term feeding issues and more.

3. The causes behind Gastroschisis are largely unknown; only advanced research will make it possible to know those causes.

4. Gastroschisis Awareness Day commemorates the affected people, raise awareness and encourage research on the cause.

No doubt that the count of the Gastroschisis cases is still large, but the number is going to increase further if no measure is taken to put a stop to the problem. So, you are required to show your support to the cause and raise awareness.
