The duration of intubation was found to be a significant risk factor for SGS development. Age at intubation, gender, gestational age, indication of intubation, and the number of recurrent intubations were found to have no significant association. Patients with post-extubation persistent respiratory problems, especially those with prolonged intubations, should be evaluated for SGS.
