BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The Spitz classification for esophageal atresia with/without tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) predicts mortality. This study evaluates the contemporary relevance of the Spitz classification and investigates predictors of morbidity. METHODS EA/TEF patients born between 1995 and 2018 at two centers were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical variables including ****, prenatal diagnosis, birth weight, prematurity, major congenital heart disease (MCHD), and pre-operative mechanical ventilation (POMV) were collected. Index
