Abstract
It remains unclear whether recent changes in the prognosis and management of patients with trisomy 13 impact patient survival. We investigated changes in survival of patients with trisomy 13 in Japan. Data from the Vital Statistics Database in Japan was retrieved to examine the association of sex, surgical history, and years of birth and death with changes in survival patterns in 1164 patients with trisomy 13 between 1995 and 2021. The rates of deaths due to trisomy 13 increased from 9.8% to 23.1% in those over 1 year of age and from 7.3% to 19.2% in those within 24 h of birth between 1995 and 2021. The median survival time was longer in 2009-2021 than in 1996-2008 (40 vs. 84 days, p < 0.001). The median survival time and the rate of patients with surgical history increased from 91 days and 16.0% in 1996-2008 to 179 days and 28.0% in 2009-2021, respectively. Median survival time among patients with trisomy 13 has increased over the last 26 years, with almost 1 in 3 patients currently surviving for more than 1 year. The increased surgical intervention rate might have contributed to this improvement.

Abstract
In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the impact of tracheostomies on the long-term survival of children with trisomy 13 syndrome at a Japanese tertiary pediatric center. We compared survival and survival to discharge rates between patients who underwent tracheostomies during their NICU stays (T group, n = 8) and those who did not (non-T group, n = 11). A total of 19 patients enrolled. Median survival in all patients was 673 (266-1535) days. Significant differences in the 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were found between the T and the non-T groups (100% vs. 46%, p = 0.018; 88% vs. 18%, p = 0.006; 63% vs. 9%, p = 0.041, respectively). The survival to discharge rate was higher in the T versus non-T group (75% vs. 45%, p = 0.352). This study highlights a significantly higher long-term survival of patients with trisomy 13 syndrome who underwent tracheostomies during their NICU stays.

[PMID: 36008197 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2022.08.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Trisomy 13 is a rare genetic condition with a characteristic set of severe congenital abnormalities. Traditionally, the standard of care was to provide palliative care only. However, there has been a recent shift towards life-prolonging care, including surgery. This study seeks to describe surgical outcomes in patients with trisomy 13 and compare them to comorbidity-matched controls. METHODS Using the ACS NSQIP Pediatric 2012-2019 Participant Use Data Files, patients with trisomy 13 were identified and described. A nearest-neighbor 10:1 propensity score match was performed using demographics, comorbidities, and procedural details. This yielded 254 patients with trisomy 13 and 2,422 controls. Risk ratios for morbidity and mortality by trisomy 13 status were determined using modified Poisson regression. The primary outcomes were thirty-day mortality and the occurrence of any morbidity. RESULTS The median age of patients with trisomy 13 was 16 months (IQR 87 months). 126 were male (49.6%) and 128 were female (50.4%). There were no differences in overall morbidity compared to controls (31.8% vs. 29.7%, RR 1.06, 95%CI 0.87-1.28, p = 0.554), but patients with trisomy 13 had markedly higher mortality (7.9% vs. 1.8%, RR 4.43, 95%CI 2.28-8.61, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that patients with trisomy 13 undergoing surgery have frequent morbidity and an elevated although not prohibitive risk of death. Compared to patients with similar comorbidities, they have similar rates of morbidity but a markedly higher risk of mortality. Parents of children with trisomy 13 require thorough counseling on these risks before deciding on surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Trisomy 13(T13) and 18(T18) have many comorbidities that may require surgical intervention. However, surgical care and outcomes are not well described, making patient selection and family counseling difficult. Here the surgical history and outcomes of T13/ T18 patients are explored. METHODS A retrospective review of patients with T13 or T18 born between 1990 and 2020 and cared for at a tertiary children's hospital (Riley Hospital for Children, Indianapolis IN) was conducted, excluding those with insufficient records. Primary outcomes of interest were rates of mortality overall and after surgery. Factors that could predict mortality outcomes were also assessed. RESULTS One-hundred-seventeen patients were included, with 65% T18 and 35% T13. More than half of patients(65%) had four or more comorbidities. Most deaths occurred by three months at median 42.0 days. Variants of classic trisomies (mosaicism, translocation, partial duplication; p = 0.001), higher birth weight(p = 0.002), and higher gestational age(p = 0.01) were associated with lower overall mortality, while cardiac(p = 0.002) disease was associated with higher mortality. Over half(n = 64) underwent surgery at median age 65 days at time of first procedure. The most common surgical procedures were general surgical. Median survival times were longer in surgical rather than nonsurgical patients(p<0.001). Variant trisomy genetics(p = 0.002) was associated with lower mortality after surgery, while general surgical comorbidities(p = 0.02), particularly tracheoesophageal fistula/esophageal atresia(p = 0.02), were associated with increased mortality after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Trisomy 13 and 18 patients have vast surgical needs. Variant trisomy was associated with lower mortality after surgery while general surgical comorbidities were associated with increased mortality after surgery. Those who survived to undergo surgery survived longer overall. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease is exceedingly prevalent in trisomy 13 and 18. Improved survival following congenital heart surgery has been reported, however, mortality remains significantly elevated. Utilizing inpatient data on trisomy 13 and 18 from the 2003-2016 Pediatric Health Information System database, a survival model was developed and validated using data from the California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative and the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development. The study cohort included 1,761 infants with trisomy 13 and 18. Two models predicting survival to 6 months of age were developed and tested. The initial model performed excellently, with a c-statistic of 0.87 and a c-statistic of 0.76 in the validation cohort. After excluding procedures performed on the day of death, the revised model's c-statistic was 0.76. Certain variables, including cardiac surgery, gastrostomy, parenteral nutrition, and mechanical ventilation, are predictive of survival to 6 months of age. This study presents a model, which potentially can inform decision-making regarding congenital heart surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE While the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is well documented in trisomy 21, there has been little published about the incidence in trisomy 13 (T13) and trisomy 18 (T18). Trisomies 13, 18, and 21 have overlapping clinical features that make patients prone to OSA. Because the literature regarding OSA in T13 and T18 children is limited, we performed a retrospective chart review to investigate the characteristics of these patients. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of children with T13 or T18 seen at seen at a single urban tertiary children's hospital for sleep disordered breathing from 1/1/10 to 5/1/18. Candidates were selected based on ICD-9 diagnosis and procedural codes. RESULTS We identified 21 T18 patients that had documented symptoms of SDB, of which 3 were diagnosed with OSA, 11 had clinical SDB, and 7 had snoring. Of the T13 patients, 10 had documented symptoms of SDB, of which 1 patient was diagnosed with OSA, 7 with clinical SDB, and 2 with snoring. In both T13 and T18 patients, anatomical features included micrognathia/mandibular hypoplasia, small mouth/small airway, midface hypoplasia, abnormal/difficult airway, glossoptosis, hypotonia, and GERD. Endoscopic findings included laryngomalacia and/or tracheomalacia, adenoid and lingual tonsil hypertrophy, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Surgical interventions performed in T13 and T18 patients included adenoidectomy, lingual tonsillectomy, and tracheostomy. Of the 32 T13 and T18 patients, 15 had to be intubated for respiratory insufficiency. CONCLUSION The results of our study suggest that T13 and T18 patients are at increased risk for OSA due to common features found in this population. These findings indicate a need for otolaryngologist intervention to increase both survival and quality of life in this population.

Abstract
There has been substantial controversy regarding treatment of congenital heart defects in infants with trisomies 13 and 18. Most reports have focused on surgical outcomes versus expectant treatment, and rarely there has been an effort to consolidate existing evidence into a more coherent way to help clinicians with decision-making and counseling families. An extensive review of the existing literature on cardiac surgery in patients with these trisomies was conducted from 2004 to 2020. The effects of preoperative and perioperative factors on in-hospital and long-term mortality were analyzed, as well as possible predictors for postoperative chronic care needs such as tracheostomy and gastrostomy. Patients with minimal or no preoperative pulmonary hypertension and mechanical ventilation undergoing corrective surgery at a weight greater than 2.5 kg suffer from lower postoperative mortality. Infants with lower-complexity cardiac defects are likely to benefit the most from surgery, although their expected mortality is higher than that of infants without trisomy. Omphalocele confers an increased mortality risk regardless of cardiac surgery. Gastrointestinal comorbidities increased the risk of gastrostomy tube placement, while those with prolonged mechanical ventilation and respiratory comorbidities are more likely to require tracheostomy. Cardiac surgery is feasible in children with trisomies 13 and 18 and can provide improved long-term results. However, this is a clinically complex population, and both physicians and caretakers should be aware of the long-term challenges these patients face following surgery when discussing treatment options.

Abstract
Management of children with trisomy 13 (T13) is controversial because of a paucity of evidence of the natural history, especially focusing on efficacy of treatment. There has been no report regarding natural history of children with T13 receiving intensive neonatal and pediatric treatment without cardiac surgery, although several reports have suggested efficacy of cardiac surgery. To describe the detailed and comprehensive natural history of children with T13 receiving intensive neonatal and pediatric treatment without cardiac surgery, we reviewed clinical information of 24 children with full T13 (15 boys, 9 girls) who were admitted to Nagano Children's Hospital from 1994 to 2016. Intensive neonatal and pediatric treatment without cardiac surgery was provided through careful discussion with the parents. We detailed accurate frequencies of complications, survival, underlying factors and the final modes of death, and psychomotor development of survivors. Unpublished complications including aortopulmonary window, pulmonary-ductus-descending aorta-trunk, biliary system abnormalities, eosinophilic enteritis, and neuroblastoma were described. Accurate frequencies of congenital heart defects (92%) and laryngomalacia and/or tracheomalacia (42%) were determined. The median survival time was 451 days and the 1-year survival rate was 54%. The major underlying factor associated with death was congenital heart defects and heart failure (63%) and the major final mode of death was heart failure (50%). Long-term survivors appeared to show slow but constant psychomotor development. Intensive neonatal and pediatric treatment without cardiac surgery for children with T13 is efficient for survival and psychomotor development, and could be a reasonable choice for parents having fetuses or children with T13.
