Surgery-related complications were noted in 17 VLBW and 2 ELBW infants, confirming high morbidity rates.
Six VLBW infants and three ELBW infants died post-surgery, highlighting significant mortality in this vulnerable group.
This multi-center cohort study analyzed records from 39 infants with EA, assessing outcomes after surgery over a 90-day postoperative period.
Findings indicate that VLBW and ELBW infants face worse outcomes compared to those born with normal birth weight, necessitating thorough parental counseling.
