Risks and Benefits of Adenotonsillectomy in Children With Cerebral Palsy With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Objectives/Hypothesis

Assess the risks and benefits of adenotonsillectomy (AT) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Study Design

Systematic review.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review of Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central Registry from 1946 to 2021. Broad search concepts included cerebral palsy, pediatric, tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy, and sleep. Additional articles were identified by searching reference lists. Studies on the safety and efficacy of AT for OSA management in children with CP were included.

Results

Fifteen articles met inclusion criteria. Articles were classified into one or more of four themes: intraoperative risk (n = 1), postoperative risk (n = 3), postoperative care requirements (n = 6), and surgical outcomes (n = 7). No intraoperative anesthetic complications were reported. Postoperatively, respiratory complications including pneumonia were common and necessitated additional airway management. Following AT, children with CP required close postoperative observation, experienced increased lengths of stay, and had increased odds of unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Benefits following AT were improvement in OSA as measured by a reduction in obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) as well as improved quality of life in some; however, many patients went on to require tracheostomy due to persistent OSA.

Conclusions

Children with CP who undergo AT have a significant risk of developing a postoperative respiratory complication. Realistic counseling of families around increased perioperative risks in this population is imperative and close postoperative monitoring is critical. Many children will obtain a reduction in OAHI, but additional surgical management is often required, including tracheostomy. Further research is needed to determine the best management strategy for OSA in children with CP. Laryngoscope, 2021
