Comment on ‘Respiratory Outcomes in Children Born With Esophageal Atresia With or Without Tracheoesophageal Fistula: A Retrospective Longitudinal Cohort Study’

Abstract

We have read the article written by Asemota O et al. with great interest [1]. Authors reported that children born with esophageal atresia (EA) with and without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) were more likely to be diagnosed with a respiratory disorder than age-matched controls. The study revealed higher prevalence of asthma among cases than in the control group. Asthma symptoms were also more severe, bronchitis occurred more frequently, and cases were more susceptible to pneumonia compared to the controls [1].
