摘要
Recurrent/residual adenoid hypertrophy after adenotonsillectomy in children can result in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to assess the role of soft tissue neck X-ray (STN-XR) in evaluating recurrent/residual adenoid tissue hypertrophy.This was a single-center retrospective study that included children with sleep study-confirmed OSA and a known history of adenotonsillectomy who underwent STN-XR to evaluate for recurrent/residual adenoid tissue hypertrophy. STN-XR nasopharyngeal obliteration and baseline polysomnographic data were analyzed. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the independent relationship between the results of STN-XR and the total apnea-hypopnea index, while controlling for relevant characteristics.The study included 160 participants with a median age of 10 years (quartile [Q] 1 = 7, Q3 = 12.25). More than half of the children were male (59.4%) and the median body mass index z-score was 2.11 (Q1 = 1.23, Q3 = 2.54). STN-XR was normal in 39.4%, and it showed mild, moderate, and complete nasopharyngeal obliteration in 20.6%, 32.5%, and 7.5% of the participants, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed that moderate and complete nasopharyngeal obliteration was associated with an increase in the mean total apnea-hypopnea index by 109% (P = .0002) and 185% (P = .001), respectively, when compared with children without nasopharyngeal obliteration. However, mild nasopharyngeal obliteration, body mass index z-score, age, sex, and race were not significantly associated with an increase in the total apnea-hypopnea index.STN-XR was useful in assessing recurrent/residual adenoid tissue hypertrophy in children with OSA and a history of adenotonsillectomy. Moderate and complete nasopharyngeal obliteration were associated with significantly increased apnea-hypopnea index. Pediatric sleep physicians may consider STN-XR in the evaluation of children with OSA and previous history of adenotonsillectomy.Senthilvel E, Nguyen QL, Gunaratnam B, Feygin YB, Palani R, El-Kersh K.
