Outcomes of multi-gestational pregnancies affected by esophageal atresia – tracheoesophageal fistula

This retrospective study of 236 EA/TEF patients found that infants from multi-gestational pregnancies had significantly worse outcomes than singletons, with higher rates of prematurity (77% vs 32%), lower birth weight, more associated anomalies including duodenal atresia, and threefold higher mortality (18% vs 6%). The findings emphasize the need for specialized counseling and support for families of EA/TEF infants from multiple gestations.
