ABSTRACT
There is little published literature from the third World countries that described the factors influencing survival of babies with esophageal atresia. We analysed 25 consecutive neonates treated for esophageal atresia. The overall survival rate was 36%. All 4 babies in Waterston Group A, 37.5% in Group B, and 15.4% in Group C survived. All 9 preterm babies died. Only 2 of the 16 babies who had pre-operative chest infection survived. The mean delay in diagnosis was 54 h in outborn babies and 20 h in hospital-born babies. We believe that a survival rate of 40% is easily achieved with minimum infrastructural inputs. Simple methods and practices that would vastly improve operative results have been suggested.
