Mortality in esophageal atresia: Assessment of probable risk factors (10 years’ experience)

BACKGROUND: Esophageal atresia (EA) is a common congenital anomaly. In this study, we evaluated the mortality and its risk factors in patients born with esophageal atresia. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A database of 206 consecutive patients treated for EA was developed in ST-Zahra hospital of Isfahan betw...

description BACKGROUND: Esophageal atresia (EA) is a common congenital anomaly. In this study, we evaluated the mortality and its risk factors in patients born with esophageal atresia. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A database of 206 consecutive patients treated for EA was developed in ST-Zahra hospital of Isfahan between 1994 and 2004. RESULTS: In this study, 206 patients were evaluated. The most common type of EA was type C (86.4%). Mortality rate was 56%; it was more common in patients with congenital malformation, in late operation and in low birth weight and premature babies. Sepsis was the most common cause of death. CONCLUSIONS: For improvement of EA survival, we should improve operation techniques, supportive care, and ICU management. It is also important to operate these patients as soon as possible.
