Longitudinal cohort finds obesity raises revision adenoidectomy odds in pediatric patients with sleep disordered breathing, indicating inflammation's role.
Odds of revision adenoidectomy in this population are increased with higher BMI percentile, younger age at primary intervention, undergoing initial adenoidectomy rather than adenotonsillectomy, and various comorbidities, with differing time-dependent effects. These findings support the potential role of obesity-related inflammation in adenoid hypertrophy and individualized surgical decision-making in pediatric patients with sleep disordered breathing.
