Recruiting
Conditions
Esophageal Atresia
Registration Number
NCT06860919
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

A transition consultation for adult patients with esophageal atresia, involving medical and paramedical stakeholders, was set up at Hôpital Saint-Louis in 2020. The aim of this initiative is to: 1. initiate adult medical, psychological and social follow-up; 2. empower these adults in their future care; 3. establish a personalized follow-up schedule. This project is the first to focus on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in young adults with esophageal atresia. A 3-year analysis of the somatic and psychosocial variables analyzed will confirm the validity of this initiative, and define its optimal contours for improving these patients' quality of life as adults.
