Abstract
In this article, mortality and one-week, 30-day, and 60-day survival rates of
infants born with esophageal atresia (EA) were analyzed depending on the operation
performed. Out of 167 infants presented with EA, the control group included 63 infants
who underwent conventional examinations, and 104 infants who underwent advanced
esophagoplasty were included in the main group. In the main group, the fatal outcome was
12.%, and in the control group, it was 33.3%, that is, a 2.5-fold reduction in mortality was
achieved. Absolute viability was 79.6%. 7-day survival was 1.8% (3 of 167 patients),
while 30-day survival was observed in 58.7% (98 of 167 patients). By the 60th day, the
probability of survival of the infants of the main group compared to the control group
increased by almost 20.8% or 1.5 times. By this period, the lethality in the control group
was 33.3%, while in the main group, this indicator decreased to 12.5%. The probability
of survival was 66.7% (95%CI: 33.02-45.84) and 87.5% (95%CI: 51.95-61.98) in the
high statistical confidence level, respectively.
