Eficacia de la adenoamigdalectomía en el síndrome de apneas-hipopneas durante el sueño valorada mediante poligrafía respiratoria / Evaluation of the efficacy of adenotonsillectomy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome in children using respiratory polygraphy

Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia del tratamiento quirúrgico mediante adenoamigdalectomía en el síndrome de apnea-hipopnea durante el sueño (SAHS) en la infancia mediante poligrafía respiratoria (PR). Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo en niños menores de 14 años remitidos con la sospecha clínica de SAHS. A todos ellos se les realizó una historia clínica, examen físico general y otorrinolaringológico, así como PR previa a la adenoamigdalectomía y 6 meses después. Se excluyeron los síndromes cráneo-faciales, las alteraciones neuromusculares y la enfermedad concomitante grave. Resultados: Se estudiaron 150 casos (67,3% varones), con una edad media de 3,74±1,80 años y un percentil de IMC de 41,70±31,75, diagnosticados de SAHS, cuando el número total de eventos respiratorios, apneas más hipopneas, dividido por el tiempo total del estudio (IER) era mayor de 4,6, mediante PR previa a la cirugía. El IER medio fue de 15,18±11,11; del total, 58,7% (88) presentaba un SAHS grave (IER>10). Después de 6 meses tras la cirugía, mejoraron todos los parámetros clínicos y poligráficos. Persistió enfermedad (IER>4,6) en 21 pacientes (14%). Ninguno de ellos presentó IER>10 tras la cirugía. El IER preoperatorio se relacionó significativamente con la persistencia de enfermedad (p=0,042). Conclusiones: La PR es útil para monitorizar la eficacia del tratamiento quirúrgico mediante adenoamigdalectomía en el SAHS infantil (AU)

Objetive: To evaluate the effectiveness of adenotonsillectomy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in children by respiratory polygraphy (RP). Material and methods: Prospective study was conducted on children referred with clinical suspicion of OSAHS. A clinical history was taken and a general physical and ENT examination was performed on all patients. RP was performed before adenotonsillectomy and six months afterwards. Patients with craniofacial syndromes, neuromuscular disorders, and severe concomitant disease were excluded. Results: We studied 150 children (67. 8% male), with a mean age of 3.74±1.80 years and a BMI of 41.70±31.75. A diagnosis of OSAHS was made if the total number of respiratory events, apneas and hypopneas, divided by the total study time (RDI) was > 4.6, using RP before undergoing adenotonsillectomy. The mean respiratory disturbance index (RDI) was 15.18±11.11, with 58.7% (88) of with severe OSAHS (RDI>10). There was a significant improvement in all clinical and polygraphic variables six months after adenotonsillectomy. The residual OSAHS was 14%. The preoperative RDI was significantly associated with persistent disease (P=0.042). Conclusions: Respiratory polygraphy is useful for monitoring the efficacy of surgical treatment by adenotonsillectomy in children with OSAHS (AU)
