Previous reports of DISE findings in children have typically included a broad age range, but it is unclear how these patterns of obstruction vary with age.<h4>Objective</h4>To compare patterns of airway obstruction observed during DISE in 3 age groups of surgically naive children with SDB.<h4>Design, setting, and participants</h4>This cross-sectional analysis of a prospective cohort of surgically naive nonsyndromic children with SDB or obstructive sleep apnea [OSA] at risk for residual disease after adenotonsillectomy (defined as having at least 1 of these criteria: severe OSA, older than 7 years, obesity, or Black race) who were recruiJAMA otolaryngology-- head & neck surgeryDrug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy Differences by Age in Surgically Naive Children With Sleep-Disordered Breathing.PMC9951097K23 HL127132Hildebrand ADNguyen TLam DJHerzig MXfalseDrug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy Differences by Age in Surgically Naive Children With Sleep-Disordered Breathing.<h4>Importance</h4>Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is increasingly used to guide treatment decisions in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
