Nonsurgical improvement of severe upper airway obstruction in infants with Robin sequence and cleft palate using Stanford orthodontic airway plate treatment.
Study objectives: Severe respiratory distress of neonates with Robin sequence is traditionally managed by surgery. Stanford orthodontic airway plate treatment (SOAP) is a nonsurgical option. The study aimed to determine whether SOAP can improve polysomnography parameters of neonates with Robin sequence.
Methods: Polysomnography of neonates with Robin sequence treated with SOAP at a single hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients without polysomnography at all 4 time points (pre, start of, mid, and posttreatment) were excluded. Data were analyzed using a linear mixed effects model.
Results: Sixteen patients were included. All patients had cleft palate. The median age (minimum, maximum) at the start of treatment was 1.1 months (0.3, 5.1) with the treatment duration of 4.5 months (3.5, 6.0). The mean obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (95% confidence interval) decreased from 39.3 events/h (32.9, 45.7) to 12.2 events/h (6.7, 17.7) (P < .001), obstructive apnea index decreased from 14.1 (11.2, 17.0) events/h to 1.0 (-1.5, 3.5) events/h (P < .001), and oxygen nadir increased from 79.9% (77.4, 82.5) to 88.2% (85.5, 90.8) (P < .001) between pre and start of treatment. Respiratory improvements were sustained during and after the treatment. All patients avoided mandibular distraction osteogenesis or tracheostomy following SOAP.
Conclusions: As being a rare diagnosis, the number of participants was, as expected, low. However, the current study shows that SOAP can improve polysomnography parameters, demonstrating its potential utility before surgical interventions for neonates with Robin sequence and cleft palate experiencing severe respiratory distress.

期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine focuses on clinical sleep medicine. Its emphasis is publication of papers with direct applicability and/or relevance to the clinical practice of sleep medicine. This includes clinical trials, clinical reviews, clinical commentary and debate, medical economic/practice perspectives, case series and novel/interesting case reports. In addition, the journal will publish proceedings from conferences, workshops and symposia sponsored by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine or other organizations related to improving the practice of sleep medicine.
