Aim: To evaluate the relationship between nutritional status, associated anomalies and surgical outcomes in patients with esophageal atresia (EA) from the Turkish Esophageal Atresia Registry (TEAR) in the first year of life.
Methods: Between 2015-2024, 34 centers registered 1107 patients in TEAR. 713 patients with the complete data of neonatal period and first year-of life were included. Nutritional status of patients was assessed with gestational age and birth weights according to FENTON growth charts and patients were grouped as small-for-gestational-age (SGA, z-scores<10 percentiles), medium-SGA (z-scores=10-20), appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA, z-scores=20-90) and large-for-gestational-age (LGA, z-scores>90) at birth. The z-scores for height-for-weight were reevaluated at 6th and 12th month-of-age. Nutritional status at birth is compared with 6th and 12th month assessments to define the percent of cases with nutritional improvement, worsened and unchanged.
Results: Among 713 patients, 56% were boys. 23,7% of patients were SGA, 16,8% were medium-SGA, 54,6% were AGA and 4,9% were LGA. There was no difference between groups for demographic features, outcomes and mortality (p>0.05). However, patients with SGA had higher rate of karyotype anomalies (23.1%, p<0.05). At the 6th month, 20% of patients had improved nutritional status, 46,2% unchanged and 33,5% worsened. At the end of first-year-of-life, 31,6% of patients had improved nutritional status, 50,2% unchanged, 18,3% worsened. Patients with worsened nutritional status (10,2%) had a significantly higher rate of mortality (p<0.05). There was no statistical difference between nutritional status and outcomes at 6th and 12th month (p>0.05).
Conclusions: The incidence of SGA was significantly higher in EA patients with karyotype anomalies. While 20% of patients improved nutritional status at the 6th month, one third of patients improved nutritional status at the end of first year. Patients with worsened nutritional status had higher mortality rates.
