What is Known:
Prevalence of dysphagia in children with repaired oesophageal atresia varies widely (ranges from 45 to 70 %) in literature.
Oral, pharyngeal and oesophageal dysphagia require different treatment approaches.
What is New:
We determined dysphagia based on functional oral intake and provide an overview of change in dysphagia prevalence and severity over time in children with repaired OA.
Our study shows that dysphagia, including oropharyngeal dysphagia, is highly prevalent in young children with repaired OA and improves with time.
