UNASSIGNED: This study which is a retrospective chart review aims to characterize the comorbidities associated with adult @entity850 and evaluate the relationship of these with @entity850 grade, length, surgical interventions, and surgical intervals. @entity1 ' demographics, medical and surgical comorbidities, grade of @entity850 , quantity and degree of balloon dilations, dilation intervals, open airway procedures, and tracheotomy status were recorded from 2002 to 2012, at a tertiary voice and airway center. Surgical outcomes were evaluated in relation to @entity1 comorbidities, @entity850 quality, and surgical procedures. A total of 101 @entity1 with @entity850 were examined with female @entity1 comprising 71  % of the population. Seventeen @entity1 (16.8  %) had idiopathic @entity850 . Number of balloon dilations ranged from 0 to 24 (mean  =  3.3). The average time between dilations was 38.4  weeks (range  =  1.14-215.8  weeks). The @entity1 with idiopathic @entity850 were found to have a lower grade (p  =  0.0066). Fifty-two @entity1 (51.5  %) received a tracheotomy at one point during their management. The 14 @entity1 (13.9  %) who remained tracheotomy dependent had a body mass index (BMI) of >30. No statistically significant correlation was found when the @entity1 ' age, BMI and comorbidites were compared with the grade of @entity850 , number of balloon dilatations needed and other surgical interventions. On the other hand, interval in between surgeries was found to be longer in @entity1 without an intubation history, and in idiopathic @entity9313 (p  =  0.004, p  =  0.015, respectively). There was no significant relationship between surgical interval and gender, BMI, length of @entity850 , grade (p  =  0.059, p  =  0.47, p  =  0.97, p  =  0.36, respectively). Airway @entity850 in adults is complicated by the presence of multiple comorbidities. Better understanding of the etiology could aid in the prevention of the injury before it forms.
