Abstract

The aim of this study was to measure tonsils and adenoid vegetations, investigate the modified Mallampati score, determine BMI according to body mass and corresponding percentile, and compare these data with the results of the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ). The subjects were children aged 2 to 18 who were indicated for adenotonsillectomy at the Clinic for Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery. A doctor specialist conducted the clinical examinations. According to the PSQ, 75 subjects were divided into two groups: those at high risk and those at low risk for developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The PSQ results showed that 45 subjects (60 %) were at high risk for OSA, and these subjects had significantly lower weight and BMI. Although a higher number of subjects had grade 4 tonsils and grade 3 and 4 adenoids, this distribution was not statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of the modified Mallampati score when compared with the PSQ results. Lower body mass and BMI were statistically significant risk factors for OSA, while the size of the tonsils and adenoids, as well as the modified Mallampati score, did not show any statistically significant difference in comparison with the PSQ results.

疑似 OSA 儿童的临床参数与 PSQ 之间的相关性。

本研究的目的是测量扁桃体和腺样体，调查改良的马兰帕蒂评分，根据体重和相应的百分位数确定体重指数，并将这些数据与儿科睡眠问卷（PSQ）的结果进行比较。受试者为耳鼻咽喉头颈外科诊所的腺扁桃体切除术适应症患儿，年龄在 2 至 18 岁之间。由一名专科医生进行临床检查。根据 PSQ，75 名受试者被分为两组：患阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）的高风险组和低风险组。PSQ 结果显示，45 名受试者（60%）属于 OSA 高危人群，这些受试者的体重和体重指数明显较低。虽然有较多受试者的扁桃体为 4 级，腺样体为 3 级和 4 级，但这一分布在统计学上并不显著。与 PSQ 结果相比，改良 Mallampati 评分的分布在统计学上没有明显差异。较低的体重和体重指数在统计学上是导致 OSA 的重要风险因素，而扁桃体和腺样体的大小以及修正的 Mallampati 评分与 PSQ 的结果相比，在统计学上没有显著差异。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
