Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 6 months to 14 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Child
Study population: Children treated at the SUNY Downstate Medical Center or the Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, NY for sleep-disordered breathing documented by positive polysomnography by either Partial Intracapsular Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy or complete Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy between 2003 and 2008.
Who may be able to join
- The medical records of 149 children who underwent partial intracapsular tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy at the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center or the Long Island College Hospital will be reviewed to identify children with positive preoperative polysomnography. 18 of those with positive preoperative studies will be randomly selected and offered participation in the study.
- Once enrolled, the participants will be matched by age, sex, time since procedure and polysomnography results (Apnea Hypopnea Index Index within 5) to 18 children who underwent traditional tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (out of a total of 455 patients).
Who cannot join

About this study
Official title: Comparison of Polysomnography Outcomes for Microdebrider-assisted Partial Intracapsular Tonsillectomy Versus Total Tonsillectomy
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate similar improvements in sleep-disordered breathing as determined by sleep study with microdebrider-assisted partial intracapsular tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy versus total Bovie electrocautery tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
Read the detailed description
Objectives: To demonstrate similar improvement in sleep-disordered breathing as determined by polysomnography (PSG) with microdebrider-assisted partial intracapsular tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (PITA) versus Bovie electrocautery complete tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T\&A).
Methods: In a retrospective cohort study children found to have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by PSG who have undergone either PITA or T\&A as treatment will be evaluated with repeat PSG. The groups will be matched by age, sex, and severity of pre-operative Apnea-Hypopnea Indices (AHI). The investigators performing and evaluating the PSG will be blinded to type of procedure and preoperative AHI. Change scores will be computed for each participant and the change scores of the groups compared.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Children who underwent PITA | Children who underwent partial intracapsular tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy between July 2003 and January 2008 for treatment of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing documented by positive preoperative polysomnography. Receives: Procedure: PITA or T&A | |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Median Change in Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI)
Change in the number of apneas plus hypopneas per hour of sleep on preoperative sleep study compared to postoperative sleep study, Change is calculated as baseline minus 4-year time point
Measured: Baseline and 4 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
Number of Patients With Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI) Less Than or Equal to 5
Number of patients with postoperative apnea-hypopnea index (apneas plus hypopneas per hour of sleep) less than or equal to 5 on sleep study
Measured: Baseline and 4 years

What does the primary outcome measure?
Median Change in Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI) (time frame: Baseline and 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00887471, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
