Pre- and post-operative evaluation of the frequency of nocturnal enuresis and Modified Pediatric Epworth Scale in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea patients
International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Dec 08, 2017
Kaya KS, et al. - The intent of the authors was to contemplate the beneficial effect of adenotonsillectomy (AT) on nocturnal enuresis (NE) in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy. They also examined the Modified Pediatric Epworth Scale (MPES). The findings revealed the existence of a strong connection between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and NE. A substantial decrease was noted in enuresis in pediatric OSA patients after surgery. Epworth scores were also markedly decreased after surgery. Researchers herein questioned the presence of OSA symptoms in children with nocturnal enuresis.
