Frequency of Abnormal Glucose Tolerance Test Suggestive of Dumping Syndrome Following Oesophageal Atresia Repair

The objectives of the present study were to assess the prevalence of abnormal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 3 months of age in infants operated at birth with type C OA, to describe symptoms and clinical features, and to assess risk factors in infants presenting with abnormal OGTT suggestive of DS. Methods: A prospective case series study including infants with type C OA without fundoplication, born between 2013 and 2016 in 8 centres was conducted. An OGTT was performed between 2.5 and 3.5 months. Abnormal OGTT was defined as early hyperglycaemia (>1.8 g/L until 30 minutes;>1.7 g/L between 30 minutes and 2 hours; and>1.4 g/L between 2 and 3 hours) and/or late hypoglycaemia (
