Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Children with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) may experience feeding and swallowing difficulties, which result in stressful interactions between children and caregivers, and potentially impact the concerns of caregivers. The aim of this study was to assess concerns of caregivers of children with EA-TEF related to feeding-swallowing difficulties.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Children with repaired esophageal atresia-tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) experience some degrees of feeding and swallowing difficulties Feeding and swallowing difficulties cause aspiration-induced recurrent pneumonia, malnutrition, dehydration and stressful interactions with their caregivers. There is lack of knowledge regarding the concerns of caregivers of children with EA-TEF related to feeding and swallowing disorders.Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess concerns of caregivers of children with EA-TEF related to feeding-swallowing difficulties.
