Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate if detectable upper respiratory infections (URIs) during adenoidectomy/adenotonsillectomy lead to more complications or unexpected hospital admissions in children.
- A total of 164 pediatric patients were analyzed, with 82.9% testing positive for URIs, but there were no significant differences in postoperative outcomes between those with and without detectable infections.
- The findings suggest that routine preoperative URI testing is unnecessary, as having a recent URI does not increase risks during or after outpatient surgeries in healthy children.
