Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: in children with primary snoring and mild sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, early adenotonsillectomy does not improve executive function or attention at 12 months, although it could improve other related symptoms.

Reviewers´ commentary: the study has some methodological issues and does not find data that support the proposed intervention in terms of the main outcomes. More studies are needed to identify patients with sleep-disordered breathing who would benefit from surgery in the long term.
