However, there are some indications that rates in the United States may be declining. We aim to investigate national gastroschisis prevalence with 3 independent large-scale databases. We hypothesize that from 2016\u20132022, the data will congruently reveal a decline in gastroschisis prevalence in the United States.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study is a retrospective cross-sectional database review of 3 national datasets: 1 clinical outcomes-based dataset (the American College of Surgeons [ACS] National Surgical Quality Improvement Program\u2014Pediatric [NSQIP-P] dataset), 1 administrative dataset (the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project\u2014National Inpatient Sample [HCUP-NIS]), and 1 public health-based dataset (the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging ONline Data for Epidemiologic Research [CDC WONDER]).
