Abstract
IntroductionObstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a common disorder in childhood with an uncertain evolution ObjectivesStudy of children´s clinical evolution with suspected diagnosis of OSAS, which was carried out after two years of an overnight polisomnogram Patients and methods73 children were studied. We evaluated if they had been operated and what type of surgery was performed, Brouillete Scale and subjective impressions. We have correlated: age, clinical evolution and surgery ResultsAge was inversely correlated with changes in Brouillete (r=-0.39, p=0.002), standing out that children that underwent surgery were younger (4,1 vs. 7,0 years, t de Student: -4.22, p=0.00009). Without the influence of age, the difference between evolution in operated and no operated ones was not significative, statistically speaking, but it was if we analysed the different types of surgery by themselves (F de Snedecor: 3,9, p=0.007), tonsillectomy was the larger. Conclusion: The middle-term evolution in children with OSAS is good if we use the correct treatment
