dc.description.abstractObjective: Sleep Disordered Breathing (USB) is one of the most common childhood disorders ranging from simple snoring to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and most common cause of it is the adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH). Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) is another important problem in children with USB due to ATH. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible risk factors for the development of EOM in children with USB due to ATH. Methods: 171 pediatric patients with ATH-related snoring and sleep apnea complaints were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups. Group 1: patients with ATH + OME and Group 2: patients with ATH alone. A pre-operative standard questionnaire was used to assess USB severity. Twenty-one different parameters were evaluated for both groups. Results: Age, sex, exposure to tobacco smoke, cow milk exposure before 12 months, breast milk only for at least 6 months, duration of symptoms, USB symptom scores, history of recurrent tonsillitis, adenoid / nasopharynx (AN) ratio, tonsil size, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin (Hb) level, hematocrit (Hct) ratio, mean platelet volume (MPV), eosinophil ratio, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), thyroid function tests (TSH, fT4), folate and vitamin B12 levels were evaluated. There was no statistically significant difference between these parameters except BMI. BMI values were 16.08 +/- 1.96 in Group 1 and 17.11 +/- 2.81 in Group 2, respectively (p: 0.006). Conclusions: Many different parameters were evaluated for EOM, a multifactorial disease. Among the groups, only BMI was different. Further study is required to identify risk factors for the development of EOM in patients with ATH.en_US
