Laryngotracheoesophageal clefts (LTECs) and tracheoesophageal fistulae (TEF) are important structural causes of aspiration requiring bronchoscopy for diagnosis.Determining which children are at greatest risk for LTEC and TEF would enable clinicians to be more selective in performing bronchoscopy.Methods: Medical records of children aged 0-18 years who underwent flexible and rigid bronchoscopy for evaluation of dysphagia with aspiration were collected and analyzed to identify predictors of LTEC and TEF.
