Table 4.

Longer durations of enteral feeding are observed in syndromic than in isolated Pierre Robin sequence.

Feeding disorders	Total (n = 50; %)	iPRS (n = 24; % of iPRS)	sPRS (n = 26; % of sPRS)
Presence	41 (82%)	19 (79%)	22 (85%)
Very mild (EF < 3 weeks)	5 (10%)	3 (12.5%)	2 (7.5%)
Mild (EF 3 weeks−3 months)	4 (8%)	2 (8%)	2 (7.5%)
Moderate (EF 3–6 months)	6 (12%)	4 (16.5%)	2 (7.5%)
Severe (EF 6–12 months)	14 (28%)	9 (37.5%)	5 (19%)
Very severe (EF > 12 months)	12 (24%)	1 (4%)	11 (42%)*

iPRS, isolated Pierre Robin sequence; sPRS, syndromic Pierre Robin sequence; EF, enteral feeding.
