Overnight polysomnography was conducted in 39 Thai children with clinically suspected obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) during the years 1994 to 1996. Eighty-five percent of these children met the polysomnographic criteria of pediatric OSAS, 42.4% among whom had severe OSAS. Male : female ratio of children with OSAS was 4.5:1. The peak age at the time of diagnosis was 3 to 4 years. The most common predisposing factor was adenoidal and tonsillar hypertrophy. Adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy was the most effective therapeutic option. Recovery of symptoms was observed following surgery and nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
1994年至1996年期间，对39名临床怀疑患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（OSAS）的泰国儿童进行了夜间多导睡眠图检查。这些儿童中有85%符合小儿OSAS的多导睡眠图标准，其中42.4%患有严重OSAS。OSAS儿童的男女比例为4.5:1。诊断时的高峰年龄为3至4岁。最常见的诱发因素是腺样体和扁桃体肥大。腺样体切除术和/或扁桃体切除术是最有效的治疗选择。手术后以及采用鼻持续气道正压通气后观察到症状有所缓解。
