A Multicenter Retrospective Analysis of Postoperative Respiratory Complications in Children With Obstructive Sleepapnea
This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate postoperative respiratory complications (PORC) after (adeno)tonsillectomy in children with OSA.
In order to increase the number of patients available for analysis, we will merge data collected at UZA with data collected at the the Department of Sleep Laboratory and Sleep Surgery at the Heim Pal National Pediatric Institute, Hungary. These colleagues performed an identical prospective data collection.
Inclusion: scheduled for (adeno)tonsillectomy as treatment for OSAS.
Exclusion: other surgery than (adeno)tonsillectomy performed as treatment for OSAS; Polysomnography not available within 1 year before surgery.
