Contribution of Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy in the Management of Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome
Contribution of Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy in the Management of Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome
The role of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in the management of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is not precisely defined for children. The primary objective of this study was to describe the consequences of DISE in the therapeutic management for children with OSAHS. The secondary objectives were to analyze the correlation between the number of obstructive sites found during DISE, the value of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and the type of OSAHS.
Retrospective single center study of 31 children (mean age: 5.5 ± 2.6 years) who benefited from DISE between 2015 and 2018 in the management of OSAHS. Modification of therapeutic management was noted. A correlation between the number of obstructive sites and the IAH on the one hand, and between the number of obstructive sites and the type of SAHOS on the other hand, was sought.
Inclusion criteria:
- OSAHS confirmed by overnight sleep monitoring (respiratory polygraphy or overnight polysomnography)
Exclusion criteria:
- Lack of data
