Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) involves partial or complete airway obstruction during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and health issues, particularly in children.
- A study of 100 kids aged 4-12 assessed the severity of OSA and the effectiveness of surgical treatment, alongside comprehensive medical evaluations.
- Findings showed that medical treatments, including intranasal steroids, significantly improved symptoms of mild OSA, as reflected in better parental sleep questionnaires and reduced Apnoea/Hypopnoea Index scores.
