Abstract
Objective: To systematically review the literature for articles evaluating outcomes of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) directed tongue surgery in children with prior adenotonsillectomy and persistent or recurrent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to perform a meta-analysis on the polysomnographic (PSG) data.
Design: Systematic review and metanalysis in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement guidelines.
Outcome measures: Primary, post-operative apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and lowest oxygen saturation (LSAT); Secondary, surgical response rate.
Results: Seven studies (283 patients) met criteria and reported PSG outcome data for the systematic review. The mean ± standard deviation surgical response rate was 70.0% ± 17.0% [95% CI 67.6, 71.6]. Six of the seven studies (270 patients) reported specific pre- and post-operative PSG data included in our meta-analysis. The pre- and post-operative AHI decreased from 9.5 ± 12.1 to 4.2 ± 6.9 events/h (p < 0.04) with a mean difference (MD) of -5.13 [95% CI -7.13, -3.13], Z-score 5.02 (p < 0.00001). LSAT improved from 87.8 ± 5.7 to 90.1% ± 5.1% (p < 0.02) with a MD of 2.71 [95% CI 1.53, 3.89], Z-score 4.51 (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: Existing literature demonstrates DISE-directed tongue surgery in children with persistent OSA can reduce AHI by approximately 50%, improve LSAT by nearly 3%, and have an overall positive response to surgery rate of 70%. There is collective evidence that DISE-directed tongue surgery is effective; limitations include heterogeneity in reported outcomes influenced by confounding factors.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Otolaryngology is a bimonthly journal devoted to clinically-oriented research papers of the highest scientific standards dealing with:
current otorhinolaryngological practice
audiology, otology, balance, rhinology, larynx, voice and paediatric ORL
head and neck oncology
head and neck plastic and reconstructive surgery
continuing medical education and ORL training
The emphasis is on high quality new work in the clinical field and on fresh, original research.
Each issue begins with an editorial expressing the personal opinions of an individual with a particular knowledge of a chosen subject. The main body of each issue is then devoted to original papers carrying important results for those working in the field. In addition, topical review articles are published discussing a particular subject in depth, including not only the opinions of the author but also any controversies surrounding the subject.
• Negative/null results
In order for research to advance, negative results, which often make a valuable contribution to the field, should be published. However, articles containing negative or null results are frequently not considered for publication or rejected by journals. We welcome papers of this kind, where appropriate and valid power calculations are included that give confidence that a negative result can be relied upon.
