Evidence suggests that adenotonsillectomy for childhood obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be associated with blood pressure (BP) improvement. However, how adenotonsillectomy is associated with BP in hypertensive and nonhypertensive children with OSA remains unclear.<h4>Objective</h4>To investigate disparities in BP changes after adenotonsillectomy in hypertensive and nonhypertensive children with OSA.<h4>Design, setting, and participants</h4>From January 1, 2010, to April 30, 2016, children (aged <18 years) with symptoms of OSA treated at National Taiwan University Hospital were enrolled in this retrospective case series study.<h4>Interventions</h4>Children underwent polysoJAMA otolaryngology-- head & neck surgery300-307https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5876823biostudies-literatureAssociation of Adenotonsillectomy With Blood Pressure Among Hypertensive and Nonhypertensive Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.PMC5876823Weng WCLee CHHsu WCKang KTChiu SNLee PLChang ISfalseAssociation of Adenotonsillectomy With Blood Pressure Among Hypertensive and Nonhypertensive Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.<h4>Importance</h4>Hypertension in childhood may continue into adulthood and lead to adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
