Age\u2010matched children recruited from the community served as controls. Drooling frequency and severity were assessed at baseline and 2 months following surgery based on 2\u00a0subjective scales: the Drooling Infants and Preschoolers Scale (DRIPS) and Thomas\u2010Stonell and Greenberg Saliva Severity Scale (TSGS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eighty\u2010seven children aged 18 to 48 months were included in the study. Forty\u2010three children referred to adenotonsillectomy (study group) and 44 age\u2010matched controls. There were significant differences in almost all of the DRIPS items between children in the presurgery group compared to controls. Drooling severity and frequency were greater in the former compared to the latter (TGF\u2010s severity: 1.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.0 vs\u00a00.6\u2009\u00b1\u20090.8, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.001; TGF frequency: 1.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.9 vs\u00a00.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001).

Following surgery, both the frequency and severity significantly improved and became comparable to those of controls. These findings suggest that a major improvement in drooling is one of the benefits of a surgical intervention in a child with
