Esophagitis and Barrett esophagus after correction of esophageal atresia

For epidemiologic reasons, that is, the short interval of follow-up (10 years) and the low compliance of the study group, larger numbers are needed to decide if routine long-term endoscopic screening after repair of EA is necessary. For now, it cannot yet be recommended. The prevalence of symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease in this study group is higher than that in the general population, but we found no severe complications of gastroesophageal reflux in the pediatric age group.
