Sleep Endoscopy and Cine Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Children With Persistent Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare findings of same-day cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and examine how each technique uniquely contributes to the evaluation of persistent obstructive sleep apnea following adenotonsillectomy.

Study design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Quaternary care center.

Methods

Chart review was performed for consecutive patients who underwent same-day cine MRI and DISE between 2015 and 2020. Descriptive statistics are reported, and Cohen kappa coefficients were calculated to evaluate the agreement between cine MRI and DISE for obstruction at the adenoids, lingual tonsils, and tongue base.

Results

There were 137 patients, the mean age was 10.4 years (95% CI, 3.2-16.7), and 62.8% were male. The mo
