This study aims to present the initial findings of the registry.<h4>Methods</h4>In this cross-sectional study, epidemiological and demographic data were obtained from the registry and compared between invasive ventilation (IV) and non-IV (NIV) groups.<h4>Results</h4>The study included 952 patients registered from 23 centers with a median (interquartile range) age of 6.0 (3.0-12.0) years. IV support was observed in 51.1% of patients (n = 486).
