Management of Residual Obstructive Sleep Apnoea After Adenotonsillectomy in Children with Down Syndrome: A Tertiary Sleep Service Experience

This retrospective study of 100 children with Down syndrome who underwent surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea found that 68% developed residual sleep-disordered breathing postoperatively. The research demonstrates that CPAP therapy can be successfully established in most affected children, with approximately one-third requiring additional surgical interventions to manage persistent symptoms.
