Procedures in the 1st year of life for children with trisomy 13 and trisomy 18, a 25 ‐year, single‐center review

In conclusion, there was an increasing rate of procedures per patient of all intensity levels over the 25‐year study period. Given differences in characteristics in those with trisomies 13 and 18, and effects of intervention on survival, an individualized approach to care of these patients should be employed by parents and healthcare providers, using factors such as trisomy type, infant gender, co‐morbidities, and parental preference. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
