Abstract

Aim: Esophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital anatomic malformation characterized by the continuity defect of the esophagus. Additional congenital anomalies may be together with EA and growth retardation, gastroesophagealreflux disease (GERD), and anastomotic stricture may be observed after surgery. The aim of our study is evaluation of the nutritional characteristics, growth, additional anomalies and complications of the patients that we followed up with EA in the first year of life. Methods: The records of 30 patients diagnosed with EA were retrospectively analyzed. Body weight and height measurements of the patients were recorded, and body weight for age (WAZ), height for age (HAZ) and body weight for height (WHZ) z-scores were calculated using growth curves of World Health Organization. The effects of additional anomalies and developed complications on growth of the patients were compared. Results: Because of nine patients died during the follow-up, 21 patients were evaluated at 6th and 12th month. Enteral feeding was initiated for an average of 8.4 ± 3.6 days after surgery. When the growth of the patients at the 6th month was evaluated, two (9.5%) patients were stunted, seven (33.3%) patients were underweight, and seven (33.3%) patients have wasting. Seven (33.3%) patients were underweight, four (19%) patients were stunted, and two (9.5%) patients have wasting at the 12th month. Patients with cardiac anomalies significantly lower WAZ and HAZ than patients without cardiac anomalies at 6th months and 12th months. Although the WAZ and WHZ of the patients with GERD were significantly higher at 6th months compared to those without GERD, there was no significant difference at 12th months. There was no significant difference in growth between patients with and without anastomotic stricture at both 6th and 12th months. Conclusion: Nutritional deficiencies and growth retardation are common in children with EA. The developed complications may be effect, and also especially in patients with additional anomalies, it should not be forgotten that growth retardation may be more pronounced.

Özet

Amaç: Özofagus atrezisi (ÖA), özofagusun devamlılığındaki bozukluk ile karakterize konjenital anatomik bir malformasyondur. Ek konjenital anomaliler eşlik edebilir ve cerrahi sonrası büyüme geriliği, gastroözofageal reflü hastalığı (GÖRH) ve anastomoz darlığı gibi komplikasyonlar görülebilmektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı, ÖA tanısı ile izlediğimiz hastaların ilk bir yıldaki beslenme özelliklerinin, büyümelerinin, ek anomali ve komplikasyonlarının değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Özofagus atrezisi tanısı alan 30 hastanın kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların vücut ağırlığı ve boy ölçüm kayıtları ile yaşa göre vücut ağırlığı (YGA), yaşa göre boy (YGB) ve boya göre vücut ağırlığı (BGA) z-skorları Dünya Sağlık Örgütü büyüme eğrileri kullanılarak hesaplandı. Eşlik eden anomalilerin ve gelişen komplikasyonların hastaların büyümeleri üzerine etkisi değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Dokuz hastanın izlemde ölmesi nedeniyle 21 hasta altıncı ve on ikinci ayda değerlendirildi. Cerrahi sonrası enteral beslenme ortalama 8.4±3.6 gün başlanmıştı. Altıncı aydaki büyümeleri değerlendirildiğinde iki (%9.5) hastada boy kısalığı, yedi (%33.3) hasta düşük kilolu ve yedi (%33.3) hastada zayıflık saptandı. Onikinci ayda ise yedi (%33.3) hasta düşük kilolu, dört (%19) hastada boy kısalığı ve iki (%9.5) hastada zayıflık saptandı. Kardiyak anomalisi olan hastaların altıncı ay ve onikinci aydaki YGA ve YGB z-skorları kardiyak anomalisi olmayan hastalara göre düşük saptandı. GÖRH olan hastaların altıncı ayda YGA ve BGA z-skorları GÖRH olmayan hastalara göre yüksek saptanmakla birlikte onikinci ayda fark saptanmadı. Anastomoz darlığı olan ve olmayan hastalar arasında hem altıncı hem de onikinci ayda büyüme açısından fark görülmedi. Sonuç: ÖA olan çocuklarda beslenme bozuklukları ve büyüme geriliği sıklıkla görülmektedir. Gelişen komplikasyonların da etkisi olabileceği gibi özellikle ek anomalisi olan hastalarda büyüme geriliğinin daha belirgin olabileceği unutulmamalıdır.
