Adenotonsillectomy in childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome improves polysomnographic measures of breathing and sleep, but not attention and executive function

摘要

Outcomes The primary study outcome was the change in the attention and executive-function score on the Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment. Other outcomes included caregiver and teacher ratings of behavior, symptoms of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, sleepiness, global and disease-specific quality of life, generalized intellectual functioning, and polysomnographic indexes.
