Parental risk factors for oesophageal atresia
CONCLUSION: Maternal factors like previous abortions, obesity and immunological predispositions like existence of allergies combined with increased daily dairy consumption influenced obviously the occurrence of OA.PMID:36925362 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2023.03.001 (Source: J Formos Med Assoc)

Systematic review of long term follow-up and transitional care in adolescents and adults with esophageal atresia - why is transitional care mandatory?
Conclusion: EA patients must continue follow-up beyond childhood, with a defined transitional-care path by a highly specialized multidisciplinary team due to the multiple long-term sequelae.What is Known:• Survival rates of esophageal atresia patients is now more than 90% thanks to the improvements in surgical techniques and intensive care, therefore patients’ needs throughout adolescence and adulthood must be taken into account.What is New:• This review, by summarizing recent literature concerning long term sequelae of esophageal atresia, may contribute to raise awareness on the importance of defining standardized p...

Role of procalcitonin as a biomarker in early identification of adverse events following esophageal atresia surgery
Conclusions: Procalcitonin is a good indicator to identify the adverse events in neonates after surgery for esophageal atresia. The procalcitonin levels in patients who sustained a major complication depicted a reversal in trend 24–48 h of clinical manifestation. POD-1 procalcitonin correlated with survival while the baseline and POD-5 serum procalcitonin predicted the clinical course. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Assessing the feasibility of predicting intermediate outcomes of esophageal atresia using okamoto classification: A prospective study
Conclusion: Okamoto prognostic classification during the initial hospitalization is relevant even at 1 year follow-up with increased mortality and morbidity in Okamoto Class IV as compared to Class I. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 4042: Oesophageal Atresia: Prevalence in the Valencian Region (Spain) and Associated Anomalies
In conclusion, a lower prevalence in SB and TOPFA was identified compared to EUROCAT data. As several studies have identified, an association between OA cases and birth weight was found. (Source: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health)

Long-term management of children with tracheo-oesophageal fistula
Tracheoesophageal fistula with or without oesophageal atresia (TOF/OA) is a common congenital anomaly of the aero-digestive system. Timely diagnosis of the primary structural defect and later identification of complications are key to ensuring good outcomes. This short article outlines the epidemiology and natural history of TOF and offers practical advice to healthcare professionals to assist them in diagnosis, initial and longer-term management. The structural and functional features of TOF/OA are discussed alongside the associated conditions (including tracheomalacia and gastro-oesophageal reflux) and attendant clinical...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Evaluation of Anatomy and Outcome Prediction in Infants with Esophageal Atresia
DISCUSSION: These results demonstrate that infants without a proximal TEF have a larger proximal esophagus and a greater angle of tracheal deviation which is directly correlated with the need for longer post-operative respiratory support. Additionally, these results demonstrate that MRI is a useful tool to assess the anatomy of EA/TEF.PMID:36812903 | DOI:10.1159/000526794 (Source: Neonatology)
