Readmission after OSA surgery in pediatric patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the readmission rate after adenotonsillectomy with the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and analyze the factors associated with readmission.

Methods: It was planned as a retrospective study conducted in a single institution that included pediatric patients who underwent adenotonsillectomy with OSA diagnosis between December 2018 and March 2021. Patients who were readmitted for bleeding or pain/dehydration were compared with those who did not require readmission.
