ABSTRACT
Objective:
The main objectives of the study were to investigate the reliability and accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the diagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy in Chinese children and to evaluate its value in clinical diagnosis.Methods:
From January 2019 to January 2020, 300 children with sleep snoring in Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Shanghai Jiaotong University were retrospectively studied. All patients underwent nasopharyngoscopy (NE) and CBCT scanning. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio of CBCT were determined according to the diagnostic criteria of NE, and the consistency between CBCT and NE was evaluated.Results:
The clinical study of 300 children patients found that compared with NE, CBCT had a sensitivity of 87.3%, specificity of 89.2%, the positive predictive value of 93.20%, the negative predictive value of 80.5%, the positive likelihood ratio of 8.08, the negative likelihood ratio of 0.14, and Kappa value of .748.Conclusion:
CBCT is a reliable and accurate tool for the diagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy and can be used as an alternative examination method for children with contraindications or intolerance during NE. Level of Evidence 4.
