This study suggests that infants with RS may achieve full oral feeds despite poor feeding performance before MDO. Infants with syndromic RS are more likely to require G-tube. These findings may be used to inform G-tube discussion and offer a timeline to work toward goal oral feeds for infants with RS after MDO.
