Prediction & management of respiratory co-morbidities following congenital tracheoesophageal fistula repair: a multidisciplinary approach

These appear to present prior to respiratory co-morbidities & can be used as a predictor of the onset of respiratory morbidity. Prospective validation of the score should be undertaken.
