Filter by:The investigators aim to evaluate chewing function in children with repaired esophageal atresia-tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF). Patients with repaired EA-TEF will be evaluated for age, sex, type of atresia. Each child will be required to bite and chew a standardized biscuit. Chewing function will be scored with the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale (KCPS). The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) will be used to determine the tolerated food texture of children.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence at 3.5 months of age of dumping syndrome in children operated at birth for oesophageal atresia type III et IV.
The frequency of Barrett's esophagus (BE) has increased in adults in the last decades, but BE is rare in children. Esophageal atresia (EA), the most common congenital anomaly affecting the esophagus, predisposes the patient to severe and prolonged gastroesophageal reflux disease. Because gastroesophageal reflux disease plays a major role in the development of BE by causing repeated mucosal damage, development of BE is a concern even in children and young adults in this specific population. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of BE (gastric and/or intestinal metaplasia) in a population of adolescents/young adults who had been treated for EA in early infancy. All eligible patients received upper gastrointestinal endoscopy under general anesthesia with standardized esophageal staged biopsies. Histological suspicion of metaplasia was confirmed centrally.
Observational longitudinal study in children operated at birth on diaphragmatic hernia and/or oesophageal atresia : assessment of lung function parameters; assessment of quality of life and cognitive development; assessment of stress parenting and strategies of adaptation.
The study is primarily a descriptive study examining the physiological, ventilatory, surgical, and recovery effects of patients ≤ 6 months of age who undergo thoracoscopic surgery and to determine the accuracy of transcutaneous CO2 (TC-CO2) and end-tidal CO2 (ET-CO2) during high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and thoracoscopic procedures.
This is a pilot randomised controlled trial comparing open versus thoracoscopic surgery for repair of oesophageal atresia with tracheo-oesophageal fistula or congenital diaphragmatic hernia in neonates. Thoracoscopic surgery involves insufflation of carbon dioxide into the thoracic cavity and may therefore cause hypercapnia and acidosis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of oral and rectal omeprazole treatment in infants with gastroesophageal reflux due to esophageal atresia or congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
