Incidence of severe acquired subglottic stenosis in newborns

Severe acquired subglottic stenosis in neonatal intensive care graduates: a case–control study

“…Leung and Berkowitz21 reported on the population incidence of neonatally acquired SGS in a comparable population in the state of Victoria, Australia. The incidence of 4.95/100,000 live births was lower than our incidence of 12.5/100,000 live births.…”

“…Recent advances in neonatal intensive care have resulted in increased survival of extremely low birthweight infants. There have been no published studies on incidence of acquired SGS in neonates since 200721 or on the associated risk factors since 2000 16…”

Long-term T-tube stenting as definitive treatment of severe acquired subglottic stenosis in children

“…Although various decannulation rates (35%-100%) have been shown, some patients who were successfully treated in previous studies required multiple operations [1,2,5,6,8,9]. The overall decannulation rate in our series was 60%.…”

Optimal Management of a 2-Hour-Old Newborn With Severe Congenital Subglottic Stenosis and Multiple Congenital Heart Diseases

“…4 The studies comparing the results of decannulation by ACS and LTP techniques showed a higher rate with LTP than ACS. 4,14 Laryngotracheoplasty with placement of anterior cartilage graft typically provides adequate expansion of the subglottis. It can be performed in isolation or in combination with a posterior graft.…”
