Swallowing, Feeding and Eating in Children Born With Oesophageal Atresia/Trache-oesophageal Fistula (OA/TOF)

A Mixed Methods Exploration of Early Feeding in Children Born With Oesophageal Atresia/Trache-oesophageal Fistula.

The functional oral intake scale is a 7 point ordinal scale of eating/drinking status. 1 indicates full non-oral feeding i.e. worst outcome and 7 indicates normal oral intake i.e. best outcome.

Participants will complete a three day food diary. Data will be analysed using the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) food and drink descriptors. This is an eight level framework from which food and drink textures can be described. Data will be summarised using frequency and percentages only.

Weight will be measured in kilograms and transformed into z-scores to allow for analysis of weight for age.

Length will be measured in centimeters and transformed into z-scores to allow for analysis of length (height) for age.
