OBJECTIVE: To document the prevalence of secondary airway lesions (SALs) among @entity1 with @entity12203 ( @entity12203 ). STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional observational study. SETTING: Single practice in a tertiary care pediatric facility. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: @entity1 diagnosed with @entity12203 were initially identified from a prospectively kept surgical database. @entity1 with @entity299 , @entity3465 , repeated or prolonged intubations, @entity697 , or prior airway surgery were excluded. Only @entity1 who had a full examination of the airway were included. Other associated diagnoses along with demographics, surgical intervention, and type of @entity12203 were included. RESULTS: Over an 8-year period, 1112 @entity1 underwent laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy. A total of 108 consecutive cases were diagnosed with @entity12203 (78 primary diagnosis and 30 secondary diagnosis). After excluding 17 with disorders associated with large airway disease, 91 @entity12203 @entity1 were included. The mean age was 553.23 days (ranging between 5 days and 15 years); 60 were @entity1 and 31 were @entity1 . The prevalence of SALs was 7.7% (95% confidence interval, 7.65-7.76; 7 @entity1 ; 4 @entity5142 , 4 @entity825 , 1 @entity17593 , and 1 choanal @entity1146 ). Fifty-nine @entity1 underwent supraglottoplasties, while 1 @entity1 had a tracheostomy. CONCLUSIONS: After accounting for conditions known to be associated with large airway lesions, the prevalence of SALs associated with @entity12203 was much less than previously reported. The authors hypothesize that the @entity454 are a reflection of highly select cohorts and the inclusion of @entity1 with other pathology known to be associated with @entity5142 , @entity825 , and @entity17593 and low thresholds for diagnosing mild @entity5142 .
