Long-term aerodigestive morbidities after esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula repair

Short-term complications, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and anastomotic stricture, are well documented in esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) survivors; however, long-term aerodigestive morbidities remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the long-term aerodigestive morbidities of EA/TEF survivors through propensity-matched analysis using a large international electronic health record (EHR) database.
