Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   The patients being operated on for tracheo-oesophagal fistula and undergoing primary oesophagal anastomosis will be randomised into 2 groups.

1. with TAFT- 6 Fr Nasogastric tube will be placed across the oesophagal anastomosis intraoperatively and will be used for giving tube feeds and removed once the child is stable postoperatively and is tolerating full oral feeds

2. without TAFT- NO Nasogastric tube will be placed across the oesophagal anastomosis intraoperatively and the child will be started on oral feeds in the postoperative period.

Both the groups will be followed up at various time points such as at discharge, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months with respect to outcome measures.
