ETOPFA (elective termination of pregnancy for fetal anomalies) not allowed during (part of) surveillance period

2

data on live born children with congenital omphalocele from one hospital

3

cumulative percent mortality was calculated using a modified Kaplan-Meier Product-Limit method to account for censoring and differential length of follow-up

4

Lower limit confidence intervals fitted to zero

5

incomplete follow-up, but deaths reported
