“…Even though reporting quality of observational studies improved after the publication of the STROBE statement [6], current studies in different medical fields have shown that adherence to STROBE reporting criteria remains poor or at most moderate [2][3][4][5][6][7][11][12][13][14][15]. Poor reporting quality does not necessarily imply that the conduct and analysis of the study has been poor.…”

“…There are multiple tools available to assess the methodological quality or the risk of bias of observational studies [16], such as the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, an easy tool that assesses the quality of non-randomised studies included in a systematic review based on the selection of the study groups, the comparability of the groups, and the ascertainment of the exposure or outcome of interest [17]. The items we identified as being frequently missed, such as the description of statistical methods, the sample size estimation or the potential sources of bias have been also reported in previous studies [3,6,7,11,12,14,15]. These items are essential to enable other researchers to reproduce the study and to evaluate its internal and external validity.…”

“…Shawyer et al in an extensive literature review, found that 80% of surgeons obtained a second esophagogram and 12% performed esophagoscopy before 6 months of age[4]. Pereira et al conducted a second esophagogram within the rst 60 days post-surgery, with a median of 35 days, revealing anastomotic strictures in 67.7% of patients[5]. The median age for esophageal dilatation in their study was 40 days.…”
