ABSTRACT

Paediatric obstructive sleep disordered breathing (OSDB) has a considerable impact on cardiovascular physiology, but the consequences on children's basal metabolism and response to exercise are far from being known. The objective was to propose model estimations for paediatric OSDB metabolism at rest and during exercise. A retrospective case-control analysis of data from children submitted to otorhinolaryngology surgery was performed. The heart rate (HR) was measured, while oxygen consumption (VO2 ) and energy expenditure (EE) at rest and during exercise were obtained using predictive equations. The results for the patients with OSDB were compared with controls. A total of 1256 children were included. A total of 449 (35.7%) had OSDB. The patients with OSDB showed a significantly higher resting heart rate (94.55 ± 15.061 bpm in OSDB vs. 92.41 ± 15.332 bpm in no-OSDB, p = 0.041). The children with OSDB showed a higher VO2 at rest (13.49 ± 6.02 mL min-1 kg-1 in OSDB vs. 11.55 ± 6.83 mL min-1 kg-1 in no-OSDB, p = 0.004) and a higher EE at rest (67.5 ± 30.10 cal min-1 kg-1 in OSDB vs. 57.8 + 34.15 cal min-1 kg-1 in no-OSDB, p = 0.004). At maximal exercise, patients with OSDB showed a lower VO2 max (33.25 ± 5.82 mL min-1 kg-1 in OSDB vs. 34.28 ± 6.71 in no-OSDB, p = 0.008) and a lower EE (166.3 ± 29.11 cal min-1 kg-1 in OSDB vs. 171.4 ± 33.53 cal min-1 kg-1 in no-OSDB, p = 0.008). The VO2 /EE increment with exercise (Δ VO2 and Δ EE) was lower in OSDB for all exercise intensities (p = 0.009). This model unveils the effect of paediatric OSDB on resting and exercise metabolism. Our findings support the higher basal metabolic rates, poorer fitness performance, and cardiovascular impairment found in children with OSDB.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) is an important health condition that leads to upper airway obstruction and constitutes the main cause of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (OSDB) in children. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of surgical intervention on spirometrical parameters of children with ATH/OSDB and upper airway recurrent infections (URTIs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study covered children treated surgically in a Pediatric Ambulatory Unit in a tertiary hospital. Spirometric tests were performed before and three months after surgery and results were compared. RESULTS: A total of 78 children were enrolled with a mean age of 6.95 ±â€¯2,81 years. There was a significant improvement in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced expiratory flow rate at 25% (F25) values after surgery in children suffering from OSDB (FVC pre: 1.52 ±â€¯0.47 L vs FVC post: 1.85 ±â€¯0.63 L, p < 0.001; FEV1 pre: 1.24 ±â€¯0.38 L vs FEV1 post: 1.39 ±â€¯0.40 L, p = 0.014; PEF pre: 2.04 ±â€¯0.85 L/s vs PEF post: 2.33 ±â€¯0.76 L/s, p = 0.014; F25 pre: 1.77 ±â€¯0.77 L/s vs F25 post: 2.02 ±â€¯0.73 L/s, p = 0.030). On a multivariate analysis model, preoperative tonsil size and performing tonsillectomy were the most significant determinants of improvement in spirometric values (p < 0.05). Children with isolated adenoid hypertrophy without tonsillar obstruction and those with URTIs alone did not show relevant differences in spirometric values after surgery (p > 0.05). No significant differences were found concerning pre-operative and post-operative forced expiratory flow rate at 75% (F75) and forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of the pulmonary volume (FEF25-75%) in any group (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Surgery seems effective in ameliorating spirometry values in patients with OSDB and ATH, namely FVC, FEV1, PEF and F25. Spirometry may give a clue on the importance of adequate surgical resolution of pediatric lymphoid hypertrophy obstruction. No significant differences exist on spirometric parameters of children with isolated adenoid hypertrophy and URTIs without ATH. Further studies are needed in order to evaluate the potential benefit of spirometry utilization in the daily clinical setting.
