Implication

Retrospective cohort study identifies predictors of surgical intervention in children with laryngomalacia, suggesting early evaluation may enhance outcomes.

Key Points

Evaluate clinical features, comorbidities, and factors leading to surgical intervention in pediatric laryngomalacia.
Retrospective cohort study of children aged 0–60 months with laryngomalacia from January 2019 to December 2024.
Diagnosis confirmed by flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopy; analyzed clinical features, severity, and management.
Factors linked to surgical intervention assessed using univariate and exploratory multivariable analysis.
68 children included, median age at symptom onset was 2.5 months, and at diagnosis was 5 months.
82.4% managed conservatively; 17.6% required supraglottoplasty, with surgical success in 83.3%.
Feeding dysfunction and synchronous airway lesions significantly associated with the need for surgery.
