Abstract

BACKGROUND: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after esophageal atresia (EA) repair is postulated to be good. However, little is known about the long-term results after repair of complex and/or complicated EA regarding HRQoL. We investigated long-term HRQoL after delayed anastomosis, esophageal replacement, major revisions, or multiple dilatations in patients registered in a support group.
METHODS: Patients registered in the German patient support group database (KEKS) were enrolled and allocated to subgroups according to surgical treatment and age. HRQoL was evaluated using validated questionnaires (GIQLI, WHO-5, KIDSCREEN27).
RESULTS: Complete follow-up (mean 14.5 ± 9.8 years) was available for 90/92 patients. Patients were allocated to subgroups delayed anastomosis (n=28), esophageal replacement (n=27), major revisions (n=15), and multiple dilatations (n=20). Adult patients presented with impaired well-being according to WHO-score and gastrointestinal function (GIQLI). In contrast, HRQoL of children was comparable to controls in most KIDSCREEN27-dimensions. Delayed anastomosis was associated with most-favourable HRQoL. Regarding physical well-being, these children scored significantly better than controls [64.01 ± 10.40 vs. 52.36 ± 8.73;p=0.0011], children after replacement [51.40 ± 5.70;p=0.008], revisions [52.04 ± 6.97;p=0.026], and multiple dilatations [50.22 ± 9.67,p=0.04].
CONCLUSIONS: HRQoL after complex and/or complicated EA is excellent in children registered in a patient support group. In adults, disease-specific symptoms negatively affect HRQoL. Our data indicate that saving the esophagus may achieve the best HRQoL.
