Article Synopsis
- * Current management guidelines mainly focus on childhood, but there's a lack of structured care for patients transitioning into adulthood, prompting the need for new guidelines.
- * The Transition Working Group of the International Network on Oesophageal Atresia developed 42 evidence-based recommendations for managing EA-TEF complications during the transition from adolescence to adulthood, based on a comprehensive literature review and expert consensus.
Enteral nutrition (EN) allows adequate nutritional intake in children for whom oral intake is impossible, insufficient or unsafe. With maturation and health improvements, most children ameliorate oral skills and become able to eat orally, therefore weaning from EN becomes a therapeutic goal. No recommendations currently exist on tube weaning, and practices vary widely between centres.

Background: No consensus currently exists on tube-weaning practice worldwide. The aim of this study was to describe tube-weaning practice (indications and modalities) of a panel of pediatric gastroenterologists involved in the management of prolonged enteral nutrition (EN).
Methods: A cross-sectional survey of pediatric gastroenterologists involved in the management of children receiving prolonged (>3 months) EN who were likely to be weaned was conducted.
