What the experts said
A systematic review analyzed whether prophylactic acid suppression would reduce the rates of strictures after esophageal atresia repair.
The systematic review included 12 observational studies.
Prophylactic acid suppression had a trend towards increasing strictures after EA repair, but the difference was not statistically significant.
Prophylactic acid suppression does not appear to work to prevent strictures after EA repair.
