a
The isolated large stomach group was divided into those whose enlarged stomachs resolved to within normal limits before birth and those whose did not, and the postnatal outcomes were analyzed between those 2 subgroups;
b
Chi-squared analysis;
c
Student t test analysis;
d
Fisher exact test analysis.
