All underwent endoscopic assessment, revealing synchronous airway lesions in 20% of the cases. Brain MRIs were obtained in 55\/60 patients and showed anomalies in 30% of the cases, particularly intracranial haemorrhages, with only one structural anomaly of the brain. Approximately two\u2010thirds of the children required respiratory\/ventilatory support, and 16\/60 children received tracheostomies. We observed a progressive reduction in the use of tracheostomies over the study period, with in parallel a longer length of respiratory or ventilator support. 4\/16 children remained tracheostomy dependent at last follow\u2010up, all of them with associated comorbidities. The only significant feature associated with the need for tracheostomy was previous intubation. Overall, almost 40% of the children needed nutritional support at discharge. No deaths related to BVCP occurred.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We observed a significant decrease in the use of tracheostomies within the study period. The need for intubation and existence of comorbidities seems to be the most relevant outcome factors. Incomplete recovery and swallowing impairment are common, thus warranting long\u2010term
