Cytogenetic testing, such as microarray is a first tier test to assess cause for these conditions and can provide meaningful answers. When a gastrointestinal anomaly is identified in association with an additionally affected organ system next-generation sequencing and defect-specific genetic testing panels can be necessary to understand cause as well as prognosis to best prepare families for the medical management that lies ahead.BACKGROUND Traumatic injury can lead to a compromised intestinal epithelial barrier, decreased gut perfusion, and inflammation. While recent studies indicate that the gut microbiome (GM) is altered early following traumatic injury, the impact of GM changes on clinical outcomes remains unknown. Our objective of this follow-up study was to determine if the GM is associated with clinical outcomes in critically injured patients. METHODS We conducted a prospective, observational study in adult patients (n=67) sustaining severe injury admitted to a Level I Trauma Center. Fecal specimens were collected on admission to the Emergency Department (ED), and microbial DNA from all samples was analyzed using the QIIME pipeline and compared against the Greengenes database. Alpha and β-diversity were estimated using the observed species metrics, and analyzed with t-tests and permutational analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) for overall significance, with post-hoc pairwise analyses. RESULTS Our patient population consisted of 63 targets for the care of injured patients.
