Multi-disciplinary Diagnosis and Treatment Process and Evaluation System for Children With Sleep Disordered Breathing and Malocclusion

Not Applicable
Conditions
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) and Malocclusion
Interventions
Procedure: tonsillar adenoidectomy
Procedure: Maxillary expander plus Twin-Block
Registration Number
NCT03451318
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Stomotological Hospital
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of drug therapy, tonsillar adenoidectomy only, orthodontic treatment only and tonsillar adenoidectomy plus orthodontic treatment in children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and malocclusion.

In this study, we hope to improve children's OSAH in function, three-dimensional shape and subjective and objective symptoms of sleep breathing through tonsillar adenoidectomy plus orthodontic treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Obstructive Apnea Index(OAI)/ Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) in PolySomnoGraphy (PSG)change from baseline at 7 months,1 year & 2 years post-treatment

OAI/AHI (which are in negative correlation with oxygen saturation) decrease after treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Airway volume change as shown on Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT)change from baseline at 7 months post-treatment

Airway volume increase after treatment

ANB, Frankfort plane- Mandibular plane Angle (FMA) measurement using X-ray cephalometrics.change from baseline at 7 months,1 year & 2 years post-treatment

ANB \& FMA (face development indicators) become normal after treatment

Assessment of subjective efficacy by using a "questionnaire on children's sleep symptoms"change from baseline at 7 months,1 year & 2 years post-treatment

Sleep quality improve after treatment.

Low arterial Oxygen Saturation (LSaO2) in PSGchange from baseline at 7 months,1 year & 2 years post-treatment

LSaO2 increase after treatment
