Endoscopic Classification and DISE-Guided Surgery in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing.
Sponsor: Regional Hospital West Jutland
Summary
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can lead to severe health issues if untreated. While polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis, current surgical treatment in Denmark relies on caregiver reports and clinical exams. Approximately 25% of patients have persistent symptoms post-surgery, indicating the need for better diagnostic and treatment options. Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) allows dynamic upper airway visualization during mild sedation, aiding in treatment decisions. This research project aims to evaluate the impact of DISE-guided interventions on pediatric OSA outcomes and compare its effectiveness and cost/benefit with traditional diagnostic approaches.
