A Novel Method for Evaluation of Oxidative Stress in Children with OSA

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the role of adenotonsillar hypertrophy and the outcomes of adenotonsillectomy (AT) on oxidative stress for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children using a new method; thiol/disulfide homeostasis. Methods The study is consisted of 45 children with OSA and 38 healthy...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Objectives To evaluate the role of adenotonsillar hypertrophy and the outcomes of adenotonsillectomy (AT) on oxidative stress for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children using a new method; thiol/disulfide homeostasis. Methods The study is consisted of 45 children with OSA and 38 healthy control subjects with similar age and sex. Children 3 to 12 years of age with OSA, defined as having an apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) of 5 or more in an overnight polysomnography, underwent adenotonsillectomy. OSA was classified as mild (1≤AHI
