Abstract

With the advances in technology, the outcome of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) has significantly changed. The aim of this study was to review the outcomes of EA and TEF with respect to the various prognostic criteria and to find out if there is a need for a further modification of the prevailing prognostic classification. The medical charts of 57 newborns with EA/TEF treated between 1996 and 2004 were reviewed retrospectively. Patient demographics, associated anomalies, and management were studied.
