Clinical Trial: Chewing in Children With Repaired Esophageal Atresia-tracheoesophageal Fistula

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational




Official Title: Chewing Function in Children With Repaired Esophageal Atresia-tracheoesophageal Fistula

Brief Summary: The investigators aim to evaluate chewing function in children with repaired esophageal atresia-tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF). Patients with repaired EA-TEF will be evaluated for age, sex, type of atresia. Each child will be required to bite and chew a standardized biscuit. Chewing function will be scored with the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale (KCPS). The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) will be used to determine the tolerated food texture of children.
