Factors influencing time of presentation among children with myelomeningocele in Zambia: a prospective study.

Although myelomeningocele (myelomeningocele) remains a leading cause of infant disability and death in many low- and middle-income countries, data regarding access to timely neurosurgical care remain limited.

The goal of this study was to characterize sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with delayed presentation for neurosurgical repair of myelomeningocele in Zambian infants.
