What is Accompanied anomalies in anal atresia or tracheo‐esophageal fistula: Comparison with or without VACTERL association about?

## Abstract ## Purpose We evaluated the various accompanied malformations in patients with anal atresia or tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Furthermore, we determined the prevalence of VACTERL association and compared the clinical findings with those of patients without VACTERL association. ## Methods We enrolled the patients with anal atresia or TEF with/without esophageal atresia. We collected the patient data pertaining to accompanied vertebral, cardiovascular, renal or limb anomalies, single umbilical artery, maternal diabetes mellitus or drug history, and gene research. ## Results A total 155 patients (65 boys and 90 girls) were enrolled with 147 cases of anal atresia, 3 cases of TEF, and 5 cases of anal atresia with TEF. The prevalence of accompanied anomalies was 67.1% in cardiovascular, 27.1% in renal, 9.7% in vertebral, 2.6% in limb anomalies, and 3.9% in single umbilical artery. Thirty‐six (23.2%) patients were diagnosed with VACTERL association. The patients with VACTERL association had a significantly higher number of male patients (58.3 vs. 37.0%, p = .033) and single umbilical artery (11.1 vs. 1.7%, p = .026), and had a significantly lower birth weight (2.8 vs. 3.1 kg
