摘要
Objective The primary objective was to determine if obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can improve after adenoidectomy. Study Design Case series with chart review. Setting Tertiary children’s hospital between 2016 and 2018. Methods The study included children under 3.5 years with small (1+ or 2+) palatine tonsils, large (3+ or 4+) adenoids, and documented OSA on polysomnogram (PSG). Results Seventy‐one children were included. Age at adenoidectomy was 2.0 years (95% CI, 1.8‐2.2) and 71.8% were male. Mean follow‐up was 2.5 years (95% CI, 2.3‐2.7). Twenty‐six children (36.6%) obtained a repeat PSG at a mean of 9.7 months (95% CI, 6.3‐13.2) after adenoidectomy. Among those with a postoperative PSG, apnea‐hypopnea index decreased in 77.0% (mean, –3.2 events/h; 95% CI, –14.1 to 7.6), and the proportion with moderate to severe OSA decreased from 65.4% to 30.8% ( P =. 03). Six children (23.1%) had a normal PSG after adenoidectomy. Tonsillectomy was performed in 14.1% of children at 12.1 months (95% CI, 7.5‐16.7) after adenoidectomy. Despite similar preoperative PSG variables, younger children (1.5 vs 2.1 years, P =. 02) were more likely to require tonsillectomy. Substantial adenoid regrowth was identified in 1 child at the time of tonsillectomy. Conclusion Adenoidectomy may improve OSA in young children with large adenoids and small tonsils. However, younger age predicted the need for subsequent tonsillectomy. Prospective studies with additional PSG data are necessary to corroborate these findings.
