Contemporary outcomes of infants with esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) from multi-gestational pregnancies compared to those of singleton pregnancies have not been reported.
A single-center retrospective review of EA/TEF patients born from 1999 to 2013 was performed. Patient demographics, gestational age (GA), birth weight, associated anomalies, requirement for gastrostomy tube and mortality were reviewed.
Singleton EA/TEF patients outnumbered those from multi-gestational pregnancies nearly 10:1 (214 vs 22 patients). EA/TEF patients from multi-gestational pregnancies were more likely to be premature (77% vs. 32%), have lower birth weight (mean 1766 g vs. 2695 g), have associated duodenal atresia (18% vs. 6%) and require gastrostomy tube (41% vs. 33%) for feeding challenges compared to EA/TEF singletons. Mortality was also significantly greater for multi-gestational EA/TEF patients compared to singleton EA/TEF patients (18% vs. 6%).
EA/TEF infants from multi-gestational pregnancies have greater clinical complexity and mortality than singleton EA/TEF patients. Parents of EA/TEF multi-gestational infants should be appropriately counseled and supported.
多胎妊娠中合并食管闭锁(EA)和/或食管气管瘘(TEF)的婴儿与单胎妊娠的婴儿相比,其近期预后情况尚未有相关报道。
对 1999 年至 2013 年间出生的 EA/TEF 患儿进行了单中心回顾性研究。对患儿的人口统计学资料、胎龄(GA)、出生体重、相关畸形、是否需要胃造口管以及死亡率进行了评估。
多胎妊娠中 EA/TEF 患儿的数量明显少于单胎妊娠(214 例比 22 例)。多胎妊娠的 EA/TEF 患儿多为早产儿(77%比 32%),出生体重较低(平均 1766 克比 2695 克),存在十二指肠闭锁(18%比 6%),且需要胃造口管进行喂养(41%比 33%)的比例较高。多胎妊娠 EA/TEF 患儿的死亡率也明显高于单胎妊娠 EA/TEF 患儿(18%比 6%)。
与单胎 EA/TEF 患儿相比,多胎妊娠的 EA/TEF 患儿具有更高的临床复杂性和死亡率。多胎妊娠 EA/TEF 患儿的父母应得到适当的咨询和支持。
