Nocturnal Oximetry-based Evaluation of Habitually Snoring Children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Rationale: The vast majority of children around the world undergoing adenotonsillectomy for obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome (OSA) are not objectively diagnosed by nocturnal polysomnography because of access availability and cost issues ...

Transoral Robotic Lingual Tonsillectomy for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Our objective was to investigate the safety and efficacy of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) lingual tonsillectomy (LT) with and without epiglottopexy and to compare it with non‐robotic approaches for children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

The Benefit of Sleeve Gastrectomy in Obese Adolescents on Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Hepatic Fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objective To determine whether bariatric surgery is effective for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in adolescence, we compared the efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) with that of lifestyle intervention (nonsurgical ...

Stridor Is an Independent Risk Factor for Mortality and Disease Progression in Patients with Multiple System Atrophy

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aim Stridor and sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) are common in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Retrospective cohort studies have yielded conflicting results regarding the consequences of stridor and SAS on the disease course. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of stridor and SAS, as well as the potential survival ...

A Clinical Prediction Formula for Apnea-Hypopnea Index

open access: yesInternational Journal of Otolaryngology, 2014
Objectives. There are many studies regarding unnecessary polysomnography (PSG) when obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is suspected. In order to reduce unnecessary PSG, this study aims to predict the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) via simple clinical ...

Investigating the shared genetic architecture between obstructive sleep apnea and sleep‐related traits

open access: yesSleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Despite a strong link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep traits, the shared genetic architecture remains unclear. This study aims to explore the shared genetic basis and bidirectional causal between OSA and sleep traits.
