Esophageal atresia is a developmental disorder in which the upper and lower esophagus fail to connect. It has an estimated prevalence of 1 in 2,500–4,500 live births and has poorer outcomes in low‐ and middle‐income countries than in high‐income countries. This study focused on the disorder’s epidemiology, morbidity, and mortality in Jordan to address the lack of data regarding esophageal atresia in this country.
