Esophageal atresia (EA) is a rare malformation of the esophagus, which needs surgical treatment. Survival rates have reached 95%, but esophageal and respiratory morbidity during childhood is frequent. Child and parent perspectives and cultural and age-specific approaches are fundamental in understanding children's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and when developing a pediatric HRQoL questionnaire. We aimed to increase the conceptual and cross-cultural understanding of condition-specific HRQoL experiences among EA children from Sweden and Germany and investigate content validity for an EA-specific HRQoL questionnaire.
