What this trial studies
This study evaluates the outcomes of a multidisciplinary follow-up program for adult patients with esophageal atresia initiated at Hôpital Saint-Louis. The program aims to provide comprehensive medical, psychological, and social support while empowering patients to manage their own care. Over a three-year period, the study will analyze various somatic and psychosocial factors to assess the effectiveness of this initiative in improving the quality of life for these individuals. It is the first to specifically address post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in this patient population.

Not a fit: Patients who are unable to complete questionnaires or are under guardianship may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this initiative could significantly enhance the quality of life and care management for adults with esophageal atresia.
How similar studies have performed: This approach is novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies, particularly regarding PTSD in young adults with esophageal atresia.
