The Phenotypical Profile and Outcomes of Neonates with Congenital Tracheoesophageal Fistula Associated with Congenital Cardiac Anomalies Presenting for Surgery
(1) Background: Neonates born with oesophageal atresia and/or tracheooesophageal fistula (OA/TOF) are usually born with a multitude of other congenital anomalies, which may affect their anaesthetic care and survival to hospital discharge. We reviewed the profile and outcome of neonates with OA/TOF and associated congenital cardiac anomalies presenting for surgery at an academic hospital in South Africa. (2) Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of all medical records of neonates who had undergone surgical repair of OA/TOF was conducted at an academic hospital between January 2015 and December 2019. Descriptive statistics were used to report the data. Comparisons in perioperative events and outcomes between those with cardiac lesions and those without were done. (3) Results: Neonates presenting for OA/TOF repair with congenital cardiac defects had an incidence of 62 [95% CI 38.5–99.8] per 1000 days since birth. In total, 45.9% had associated cardiac anomalies, with PDA and ASD as the most prevalent lesions. There were statistically significant differences in intraoperative adverse events seen in neonates with congenital cardiac lesions as compared to those without. (4) Conclusion: Despite advances in neonatal critical care and anaesthetic and surgical techniques, OA/TOF associated with congenital cardiac anomalies is still associated with high mortality rates in developing countries.
