The secondary objective was to evaluate if tonsil size could help to identify children at higher risk of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cross\u2010sectional study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was conducted with a consecutive sample of children with indication of adenotonsillectomy for sleep\u2010disordered breathing. T\/P was measured by lateral neck radiography, PAP by echodopplercardiography, and symptoms and quality of life by the Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)\u201018 questionnaire. T\/P was plotted in a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to determine the best cut\u2010off point to identify children with PAH.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 45 children participated in the study. The mean age was 72.0 \u00b1 32.3 months, and six (13%) patients had PAH. Correlation between systolic PAP and T\/P was strong (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.624; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001). T\/P was significantly higher in patients with PAH (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001). OSA\u201018 score did not significantly correlate with the variables. The cut\u2010off point identified in the ROC was 0.66, which was the minimum T\/P where sensitivity was still 100%. Mean systolic pulmonary artery pressure in children with T\/P &gt;0.66 was significantly higher than in those with T\/P &lt;0.66 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>T\/P showed a good correlation with PAP in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy and surgical indication for sleep\u2010disordered breathing. Children with T\/P &gt;0.66 can be at greater risk for cardiac complications and should be submitted to complementary studies with echodopplercardiography or given preference for surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.20870","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,12]],"date-time":"2010-05-12T22:41:32Z","timestamp":1273704092000},"page":"1246-1251","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Tonsil size as a predictor of cardiac complications in children with sleep\u2010disordered breathing"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"120","author":[{"given":"Eduardo Homrich","family":"Granzotto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Flavio Veras","family":"Aquino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f4nio","family":"Flores","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Faibes Lubianca","family":"Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MLG.0b013e318123ee56"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-5876(01)00449-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mhn.2000.105254"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S1806-37132007000100013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0031-3955(16)36806-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.105.2.405"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.87.2.156"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","first-page":"222","article-title":"Adenotonsillar hypertrophy and skeletal morphology of children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome","volume":"523","author":"Shintani T","year":"1996","journal-title":"Acta Otolaryngol Suppl"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.126.4.1313"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.echo.2005.12.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.07-1367"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10554-007-9265-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2008.06.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjoto.2004.06.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000992280003900205"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1808-8694(15)31041-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-5876(01)00500-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.111.3.e236"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2004.09.033"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2005.01.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(87)80047-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2008.11.039"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.2105118"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1460-9592.2003.01193.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S1806-37132004000100014"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_27_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S1415-98482005000200006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_28_2","first-page":"53","article-title":"Evaluation of the pulmonary artery pressure in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy before and after adenotonsillectomy","author":"Martha V","year":"2009","journal-title":"Thesis (PhD).
