Oesophageal atresia/tracheo-oesophageal fistula: renal anomaly screening

Oesophageal Atresia with Double Tracheo-oesophageal Fistula.

Low birthweight babies with oesophageal atresia or tracheo-oesophageal fistula.

Of 142 patients of known gestation with oesophageal atresia or tracheo-oesophageal fistula, 21% were preterm with a mean weight of 2 kg, 19% were small-for-dates with a mean weight of 2.23 kg, and the remaining 60% were born at term and weighed more than 2.5 kg.
