BACKGROUND: Adenotonsillectomy is widely established as a first-line treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children; however, its effectiveness and clinical role in adult patients remain less well defined.
PURPOSE: The study purpose was to measure changes in sleep quality and OSA risk in adults following adenotonsillectomy.
STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE: This was a prospective cohort study conducted at Unimed, in Itaperuna, RJ, Brazil, including 28 adult patients diagnosed with OSA.
PREDICTOR/EXPOSURE/INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: The primary predictor variable was the time point (preoperative vs 2 months postoperative).
MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES: The main outcome variable was therapeutic response, measured using sleep quality, OSA risk, and daytime fatigue.
COVARIATES: Age, sex, body mass index, and baseline sleep quality.
ANALYSES: Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed using χ2, Fisher's exact, and Wilcoxon tests (P < .05).
RESULTS: The sample included 28 subjects with a mean age of 28.4 years (±9.1), of whom 15 (53.6%) were male. Adenotonsillectomy improved sleep quality and reduced OSA risk. The proportion of subjects classified as high-risk for OSA decreased from 71.73 to 0% (P < .0001). Median Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores improved from 9.5 (interquartile range 6 to 11) presurgery to 2.0 (1 to 4) postsurgery (P < .0001). In addition, daytime fatigue and snoring frequency also showed marked reductions postoperatively (P < .0001).
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Among adults with significant tonsillar or adenoidal hypertrophy and OSA, adenotonsillectomy was associated with improvements in sleep quality and reduced OSA risk. It may represent a viable alternative for patients who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure or present anatomical upper airway obstruction.
