Respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms in esophageal atresia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mastroianni et al. [1] report high prevalence (100%) of respiratory symptoms in their cohort of 19 children who received surgery for esophageal atresia. In contrast with the results of other studies [2], they found gastro-esophageal reflux incidence was low (26,3%). They therefore emphasize anti-reflux therapy could not be effective for treatment of respiratory symptoms in this group of patients.
