- •
Multilevel upper airway obstruction is common in Down syndrome (DS) children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- •
Adenotonsillectomy significantly improves the obstructive apnea–hypopnea index.
- •
More than 50% of DS children have residual OSA following adenotonsillectomy.
- •
Drug-induced sedation endoscopy may guide treatment in DS children with persistent OSA.
