Predictors of anastomotic strictures following œsophageal atresia repair

Madeleine Aumar et al.

Summary: This study identified risk factors for anastomotic, refractory, and recurrent strictures in infants with oesophageal atresia. It found that anastomosis under tension and delayed anastomosis were independent risk factors for anastomotic stricture. The study also revealed a higher rate of fundoplication in patients with anastomotic stricture compared to those without.

Nutritional status at age 1 year in patients born with esophageal atresia: A population-based, prospective cohort study

Suzanne Depoortere et al.

Summary: This study found that undernutrition and stunting are common in infants born with esophageal atresia (EA) during the first year after birth. Factors such as being born preterm, small for gestational age, and having associated abnormalities increase the risk of growth failure.

Risk Factors of Early Mortality and Morbidity in Esophageal Atresia with Distal Tracheoesophageal Fistula: A Population-Based Cohort Study

Rony Sfeir et al.

Summary: This study identified risk factors for early mortality and morbidity in patients with distal esophageal atresia-tracheoesophageal fistula. Low birth weight, associated cardiac abnormalities, prenatal diagnosis, complications, and surgical difficulties were found to be associated with mortality and hospital length of stay. Complications before 1 year and initial hospital length of stay were predictive factors for dependency on nutritional support at 1 year of age.
