Objectives: Growth may be compromised in children with esophageal atresia (EA), but among factors important for growth and development, nutrition is only barely studied. The aim of this study was to examine nutritional status in adolescents with EA.Methods: Anthropometric measurements, blood samples, pH-measuring, mapping of dysphagia with a modified EAT-10 questionnaire, 4-day dietary record and a semi-structured interview about eating habits and nutrition counselling were applied.Results: Out of 102 eligible adolescents with EA, 68 (67 %) participated in this crosssectional study. Median height SDS was -0.6 (-4.6-1.8). Ten (15 %) were classified as stunted (height SDS < -2). Fourteen (21 %) were overweight. More than 2/3 reported symptoms of dysphagia (EAT-10 score ≥ 3) and avoided specific foods. Forty-eight (71 %) completed the 4-day dietary record, which showed daily intake of energy below age-appropriate recommendations. One-third reported an energy intake below estimated basal metabolic rate.Only 24% had counselled a dietitian. Conclusion:EA-adolescents have growth below reference values and energy intake below recommendations. One-third of the adolescents reported intake below estimated basal metabolic rate. Even if the rate of underreporting may be high, energy intake and its relation to stunting needs to be further studied in EA patients.
