Type\u20101 laryngeal clefts were diagnosed as an interarytenoid depth at or below the level of the vocal folds, on direct laryngoscopy, via palpation by a fellowship\u2010trained pediatric otolaryngologist. Pathogenic bacterial growth in the lower airway was defined as presence of BAL culture growth of nonrespiratory flora.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 217 patients were identified.
