Abstrakt: Background: To review the outcomes of premature patients with type C esophageal atresia (EA).
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, charts of patients of type C EA patients were reviewed from 1992 to 2022. Outcomes of premature patients were compared to term patients. Preterm patients were analyzed to compare outcomes of infants with very low birth weights (VLBW) to patients >1,500 g as well as primary versus delayed anastomosis.
Results: Among 192 type C EA, 67 were premature. Median and interquartile range (IQR) gestational age and birth weight of preterm patients were 34 [33-36] weeks and 1965 [1740-2290] g. Delayed anastomosis was performed in 12 (18%) preterm vs. 3 (2%) term patients (p = 0.0003). Short-term postoperative outcomes were similar between preterm and term patients, except for recurrent fistula (16% vs. 6%, p = 0.01). Prematurity was associated with an increased need for long-term enteral tube feeding (56% vs. 10%, p = 0.0001) and parenteral nutrition (10 days vs. 0 days, p = 0.0004). The length of stay was 3 times longer when patients were premature (50 days vs. 17 days, p = 0.002). Delayed surgery in preterm patients was associated with post-operative leaks, strictures, recurrent fistula, prolonged enteral tube feeding, and gastrostomy insertion. Patients with very low birth weight (VLBW) were compared to other preterm patients and showed no difference in terms of rate of delayed surgery, and post-operative outcomes.
Conclusion: Despite increased prematurity-related comorbidities and low birth weight, premature infants with type C EA/TEF have similar post-operative outcomes to term patients though recurrent fistula was more frequent with prematurity.
