UNLABELLED
The hypertrophy of the palatine and pharyngeal tonsils is extremely common in children, being one of the most frequent causes of visits to otolaryngologists and such problem can impair the child's quality of life.
AIM
to evaluate the impact of adenotonsillectomy on the lives of children with hypertrophied tonsils.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Contemporary longitudinal cohort study. A specific questionnaire used to evaluate the quality of life - OSD-6, was given to seventy five parents or guardians of children previously submitted to adenotonsillectomy, before the surgery and thirty days afterwards.
RESULTS
The adenotonsillectomy provided a significant reduction in the questionnaire score.
DISCUSSION
Snoring and nasal obstruction were the symptoms with the highest scores. There is a great concern from the parents with the snoring of the children and a poor statistic correlation between the degree of obstruction degree and a worse quality of life.
CONCLUSION
Adenotonsillectomy causes a relevant impact in the quality of life of children with tonsil hypertrophy.
未加说明
腭扁桃体和咽扁桃体肥大在儿童中极为常见，是耳鼻喉科就诊最常见的原因之一，可导致儿童生活质量下降。
目的
评估腺样体扁桃体切除术对扁桃体肥大患儿生活的影响。
材料和方法
采用当代纵向队列研究。使用特定的问卷（OSD-6）评估 75 名接受腺样体扁桃体切除术患儿的父母或监护人的生活质量，术前和术后 30 天分别进行评估。
结果
腺样体扁桃体切除术显著降低了问卷评分。
讨论
打鼾和鼻塞是评分最高的症状。父母非常关注孩子的打鼾问题，且阻塞程度与生活质量较差之间的统计学相关性较差。
结论
腺样体扁桃体切除术对扁桃体肥大患儿的生活质量有显著影响。
