Purpose: The aim of th is study was to determine the influence of various prognostic factors on the outcome of esophageal atresia patients.Methods: The authors reviewed 240 charts of patients admitted with esophageal atresia or tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) in a single institution. A logistic regression model was used with survival as the dependent variable and era of repair, birth weight, and cardiac anomaly as independent variables.Results: Era was statistically significant (P = .011); 87% (117 of 134) of patients survived in the era from 1980 through 1997 compared with 78% (83 of 106) from 1960 through 1979. Cardiac anomaly (CHD) was a significant risk factor (P = .001); 88% (176 of 199) survived without cardiac anomaly, whereas only 59% (24 of 41) survived with cardiac disease. Eighty-four percent (185 of 219) of infants with a birth weight (BW) of more than 1,500 g survived,compared with 71% (15 of 21) of infants with a birth weight of less than 1,500 g. This was not statistically significant (P = .59). Early hospital deaths were primarily cardiac and chromosomal (61%). Late deaths were primarily respiratory (59%; two-tailed Fisher's Exact test, P = .004).Conclusions: (1) Survival of patients with esophageal atresia has significantly improved in the recent years. (2) Low birth weight (
