Background: This study reports national estimates of population characteristics and outcomes for patients with esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) and evaluates the relationships between hospital volume and outcomes.
Methods: Patients admitted within 30 days of life who had International Classification of Diseases, 9th Edition, Clinical Modification diagnosis and procedure codes relevant to EA/TEF during 1999-2012 were identified with the Pediatric Health Information System database. Baseline demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative outcomes, including predictors of in-hospital mortality, were examined up to 2 years after EA/TEF repair.
