Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Previous research has shown that low birth weight is one of the risk factors for esophageal atresia. However, there remains a paucity of evidence on the timing and the treatment method. METHOD Data were collected using a multi-institutional observational study in 11 hospitals that performed surgeries on esophageal atresia babies whose birth weights were ≤1500 g from 2001 to 2020. RESULTS Of the 46 patients analyzed, median birth weight was 1233 (IQR 1042-1412) g. Within 46 cases, 19 (41%) underwent definitive esophageal anastomosis at the median of age in 8 (IQR 2-101) days. Thirteen out of 19 experienced either closure of tracheoesophageal fistula, gastrostomy, or esophageal banding at the first operation, followed by esophageal anastomosis. Seven infants, including four cases of <1000 g, underwent anastomosis after one month of age to wait for weight gain (variously 2-3000 g). Twenty-one out of 27 infants (78%) who did not receive anastomosis died within one year of age, including 21 (78 %) with major cardiac anomalies and 24 (89%) with severe chromosomal anomalies (trisomy 18). Six survivors in this group, all with trisomy 18, lived with palliative surgical treatments. CONCLUSION In our study, the definitive esophageal anastomosis was effective either at the first operation or as a later treatment after gaining weight. Although having severe anomalies, some infants receive palliative surgical treatments, and the next surgery was considered depending on their condition. EVIDENCE LEVEL II.

Abstract
Trisomy 18 is the second most common aneuploidy after trisomy 21. It presents with varying degrees of heterogeneous clinical phenotypes involving multiple organ systems, with a high mortality rate. Clinical assessment of fetal trisomy 18 is always challenging. In this study, we describe the phenotypes of the fetuses with trisomy 18 from a perinatal cohort. We reviewed fetuses with trisomy 18 in referrals for perinatal autopsy over the period of 15 years. A detailed phenotyping of the fetuses with trisomy 18 was executed by perinatal autopsy. Appropriate fetal tissues were obtained to perform genomic testing. We observed trisomy 18 in 16 fetuses (2%) in our cohort of 784 fetal/neonatal losses and a perinatal autopsy was performed on all of them. Abnormal facial profile was the most frequent anomaly (10/16, 62%) followed by anomalies of the extremities (9/16, 56%), and cardiac defects (6/16, 37%). We also observed esophageal atresia, diaphragmatic hernia, and neural tube defect. The study represents one of the largest cohorts of trisomy 18 from a perinatal center from a developing country and highlights the clinical heterogeneity attributed to trisomy 18. We also report a recurrence of trisomy 18 in a family.

REVISTA PAULISTA DE PEDIATRIA : ORGAO OFICIAL DA SOCIEDADE DE PEDIATRIA DE SAO PAULO 2023; 42:e2023053.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the newborn population with Patau (T13) and Edwards Syndrome (T18) with congenital heart diseases that stayed in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a quaternary care hospital complex, regarding surgical and non-surgical medical procedures, palliative care, and outcomes. METHODS Descriptive case series conducted from January/2014 to December/2018 through analysis of records of patients with positive karyotype for T13 or T18 who stayed in the ICU of a quaternary hospital. Descriptive statistics analysis was applied. RESULTS 33 records of eligible patients were identified: 27 with T18 (82%), and 6 T13 (18%); 64% female and 36% male. Eight were preterm infants with gestational age between 30-36 weeks (24%), and only 4 among the 33 infants had a birth weight >2500 g (12%). Four patients underwent heart surgery and one of them died. Intrahospital mortality was 83% for T13, and 59% for T18. The majority had other malformations and underwent other surgical procedures. Palliative care was offered to 54% of the patients. The median hospitalization time for T18 and T13 was 29 days (range: 2-304) and 25 days (13-58), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Patients with T13 and T18 have high morbidity and mortality, and long hospital and ICU stays. Multicentric studies are needed to allow the analysis of important aspects for creating protocols that, seeking therapeutic proportionality, may bring better quality of life for patients and their families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal atresia (EA) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates is rare. This report aims to clarify EA's clinical courses and prognosis in ELBW neonates and the clinical issues of long-term survival cases. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted for 8 neonates diagnosed with esophageal atresia. Medical records of ELBW EA neonates treated at our institution were reviewed to assess patient demographics, clinical courses, and outcomes. Transferred patient data was obtained from their local physicians through questionnaires. RESULTS EA in ELBW neonates were included in 8 of EA infants (7%). Fatal respiratory and cardiovascular complications of trisomy 18 and complications related to immaturity such as liver failure and pulmonary hypertension were associated with poor prognosis. During primary operations, gastrostomy and esophageal banding were performed together in 50% of the cases, while gastrostomy was performed alone in 25%. The esophageal anastomosis was not performed during any primary operation. All causes of death, except for 1 case, were due to non-surgical causes. A long-term survival case of 17 years postoperatively was included. CONCLUSION Although ELBW EA has a poor prognosis, long-term survival is possible in some cases, so aggressive therapeutic intervention is considered essential. It is important to share information about the prognosis with parents and multidisciplinary specialists and to select an appropriate treatment strategy for each case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trisomy 13 (T13), trisomy 18 (T18), and trisomy 21 (T21) are the most common autosomal trisomies. One unifying feature of all trisomies is their association with major congenital malformations, which often require life-prolonging surgical procedures. Few studies, mostly among cardiac surgery patients, have examined the outcome of those who undergo surgical procedures. We examined the differences in postsurgical outcomes between the trisomy groups. METHOD Using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program dataset, we identified children (<18 years of age) with T13, T18, or T21 who underwent noncardiac surgery (2012-2018). We estimated the incidence of mortality and indicator of resource utilization (unplanned reoperation, unplanned tracheal reintubation, and extended length of hospital stay). RESULTS Of the 349 158 inpatient surgical cases during the study period, we identified 4202 children with one of the autosomal trisomies of interest (T13: 152; T18: 335; and T21: 3715). The rates of postoperative mortality were substantially higher for T18 and T13 than T21 and nontrisomy children (T18 vs. T21: 11.1% vs. 1.6%, adjusted odds ratio: 5.01, 95%CI: 2.89,8.70, p < .01), (T13 vs. T21: 8.1% vs. 1.6%, adjusted odds ratio: 2.86, 95%CI: 1.25,6.54, p = .01). Children with T18 had the highest rates of extended length of stay (62.7%) and prolonged mechanical ventilation (32.5%). T18 and T13 neonates had the highest surgical mortality burden (T13: 26.5%, T18: 31.8%, and T21: 2.8%). CONCLUSION Approximately, one-third of T18 and T13 neonates, who had surgery, died, underscoring the lethality of these trisomies and the need for a comprehensive preoperative ethical discussion with families of these children.
