Eight had syndromic disease; seven were born prematurely. Mean age at surgery was 25 days for bilateral atresia (65% of patients) and 3.8 years for unilateral atresia. Ten children, most with unilateral CA, needed revision surgery. The mean duration of follow-up was 3.1 years. At the last follow-up, 84.6% of the children had normal choanae, and the remainder had narrowed choanae. Mean time from last follow-up to the parental interview was 5.2 years. SN-5H and He-NOSE scores were similar to those of historical healthy subjects: 1.95 versus 1.76 (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090\u2009.4) and 22.3 versus 14.9 (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.08), respectively.
