Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed long-term functional outcomes of children aged 6-30 who had surgery for anorectal malformations (ARMs) in various expert centers in France.
- - Findings from 367 patients indicated a significant correlation between the rectal pouch position and issues like voluntary bowel movements and soiling, as well as an increased risk of constipation linked to certain anatomical factors and surgical approaches.
- - The study emphasizes the importance of ongoing follow-up for these patients to address their specific needs and improve their functional outcomes over time.
Objective: To identify the risk factors for early mortality and morbidity in a population with distal esophageal atresia (EA)-tracheoesophageal fistula.
Study Design: Cohort study from a national register. Main outcomes and measures included early mortality, hospital length of stay (LoS), need for nutritional support at 1 year of age as a proxy measure of morbidity, and complications during the first year of life.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess quality of life (QOL) of patients born with bladder exstrophy (BE) and reconstructed during early childhood in 7 French university hospitals (QUALEX study: QUAlity of Life of bladder EXstrophy).
Methods: Patients from 6 to 42 years old answered self-administered Short-Form 36 (SF-36), VSP-A (Vécu et Santé Perçue de l'Adolescent), VSP-AE (Vécu et Santé Perçue de l'Enfant), AUQUIE (AUto-QUestionnaire Imagé de l'Enfant), and general questionnaires about functional and socioeconomic data. Dimension scores were compared between adults and adolescents using SF-36 and adolescents and children using VSP-AE.
