Continuous variables are reported as median (IQR); frequencies are reported as n (%). WAZ: weight for age z-score; PN: parenteral nutrition; RLQ: right lower quadrant. Operative data missing for 7 patients in prolapse cohort and 21 patients in no prolapse cohort. Mann–Whitney U tests were used for continuous variables and chi-square tests for categorical variables.
