Objectives and study
Due to motility abnormalities and digestive complications, oesophageal atresia (OA) affects food intake and possibly nutritional status. Undernutrition has been shown to affect about 15% of the patients at the age of one year, but the long-term nutritional outcome of these patients remains poorly studied. Our objective was to assess the prevalence and predictive factors of undernutrition and stunting of patients at 6 years old.
Methods
We conducted a prospective, multicentric, nested cohort study. Data of every consecutive patient born in France with OA between 2010 and 2012 were recorded and merged with data collected at birth and 1 year of age in our national registry of OA. Undernutrition and stunting were defined by z-scores of BMI and height-for-age ratio less than -2 standard deviations, respectively. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed thanks to the imputation of missing data.
Results
We included 449 of the 468 eligible patients (92%). Prevalence of undernutrition and stunting at 6 years was respectively 9.0% and 11.1%. Undernutrition at one year of age was the only independent factor predictive for undernutrition at the age of 6 (OR 4.37 (IC95% 1.77 to 10.77), p=0.002), while being small for gestational age, a congenital heart malformation and preexisting stunting at one year were independent factors predictive for stunting at 6 years (OR 2.32 (IC95% 1.01 to 5.33),p = 0.048, OR 1.99 (IC95% 1.00 to 3.93), p = 0.049; and OR 5.51 (IC95% 2.31 to 13.18), p=0.0002, respectively).
Conclusion
Our study highlights that undernutrition and stunting remain frequent in the middle-term follow-up in OA and originate mainly during the first year of life.
