  • Title: Neonatal duodenal obstruction with emphasis on cases with Down's syndrome.
    Author: Potts SR, Garstin WI.
    Journal: Ulster Med J; 1986 Oct; 55(2):147-50. PubMed ID: 2949416.
    Abstract:
    In the past 31 years, 47 cases of duodenal obstruction were admitted to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. Thirty-six per cent of these had Down's syndrome. The crude mortality was 48% but this figure was reduced to 33% in the last five years of the study. The combination of duodenal obstruction, Down's syndrome and any other abnormality carried an 89% risk of mortality.
