Abstract
Dear Editor,
Esophageal Atresia (EA) is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of 1.2 to 4.5 per 10,000 live births. It is frequently associated with comorbidities which pose significant challenges in the perioperative period. Although notable progress in treatment options and survival has been made during the past decades, patients with esophageal atresia still encounter long-term complications that severely impact their quality of life. The majority relate to gastrointestinal and respiratory problems which result in multiple hospital admissions as well as diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Prematurity, among other factors, may affect overall long-term outcomes following successful esophageal atresia repair. This current study hence investigated the impact of gestational age on gastroesophageal and respiratory complications during the first 5 years of life
