	n (%)	n (%)	n (%)	n (%)	P-value *
Death	0/13 (0%)	1/17 (6%)	12/37 (32%)	14/23 (61%)	<0.001
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)	0/13 (0%)	0/17 (0%)	5/37 (14%)	8/23 (35%)	0.005
Non-primary diaphragm repair †	5/13 (38%)	9/17 (53%)	25/33 (76%)	17/17 (100%)	<0.001
Prolonged mechanical ventilation (>14 days) ‡	0/13 (0%)	6/17 (35%)	21/34 (62%)	15/16 (94%)	<0.001
Prolonged respiratory support (≥56 days) §	0/13 (0%)	3/16 (19%)	13/28 (46%)	6/9 (67%)	<0.001

^*P-value refers to a Fisher's exact test of association.

^†Excludes patients who died prior to surgical repair (n=80).

^‡Excludes patients who died prior 14 days of age (n=80).

^§Of these, 7 patients were discharged home on oxygen prior to reaching 56 days of age.

Age at discharge ranged from 29 to 43 days, mean of 37.9 +/− 4.8 days.

Excludes patients who died prior to 56 days of age (n=66).
