Lee T, Wulfovich S, Kettler E, et al. - In this retrospective chart review, researchers desired to know how age influences the post-operative outcome in obese children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to evaluate post-operative tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) polysomnography outcomes of obese children. Patients who were 17 years old and younger, underwent T&A, were obese and had both pre- and post-operative sleep studies were eligible for inclusion. Fifty-five patients were included in the study. The authors discovered that obese patients under 7 years old performed better following T&A despite having the highest rates of obesity and the most severe OSA, with higher cure rate, an overall reduction in oAHI, and a drop in the need for post-surgical nighttime airway support.
