“…In addition, the anatomy in these young patients leads to a more technically demanding surgery. This finding has not been previously reported in the literature, although studies concerning gestational age have shown no affect on outcome [9]. More recently, late-onset laryngomalacia has been described in older patients, with good outcomes after supraglottoplasty [10].…”

“…Belmont and Grundfast [3] noted GER on barium swallow in 80% of 30 patients with laryngomalacia, while Giannoni et al [18] observed that GER was significantly associated with severe symptoms in patients with laryngomalacia. In the current study, the incidence of GER was 42.3%.…”
“…Reflux disease has been reported in 65%-100% of infants with laryngomalacia [12,13]. Theoretically, breathing against an obstructed airway generates increased negative intrathoracic pressures and a greater likelihood of overcoming the protective role of the esophageal sphincters.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
