Abstract：
:Maternal and pediatric delivery outcomes may vary in patients who underwent open fetal myelomeningocele repair and elected to deliver at the fetal center where their fetal intervention was performed versus at the referring physician's hospital. A prospective cohort study of 88 patients were evaluated following in utero open fetal myelomeningocele repair at a single fetal center between the years 2011-2019. Exclusion criteria included patients that delivered within two weeks of the procedure (n = 6), or if a patient was lost to follow-up (n = 1). Of 82 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 36 (44%) patients were delivered at the fetal center that performed fetal intervention, and 46 (56%) were delivered locally. Comparative statistics found that with the exception of parity, baseline characteristics and pre-operative variables did not differ between the groups. No differences in oligohydramnios incidence, preterm rupture of membranes, gestational age at delivery or delivery indications were found. Patients who delivered with a referring physician were more likely to be multiparous (p = 0.015). With the exception of a longer neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay in the fetal center group (median 30.0 vs. 11.0 days, p = 0.004), there were no differences in neonatal outcomes, including wound dehiscence, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, patch management, ventricular diversion, or prematurity complications. Therefore, we conclude that it is safe to allow patients to travel home for obstetric and neonatal management after open fetal myelomeningocele repair.
