Parent experience of care and decision making for children who snore.
The researchers identified factors associated with parental experience and decision making in pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and adenotonsillectomy (AT) surgery. They found that while clinical factors were influential for decision making, interpersonal factors helped parents feel comfortable and influenced their overall experience

Tonsillectomy for obstructive sleep-disordered breathing: a meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis compared sleep, cognitive or behavioral, and health outcomes of tonsillectomy versus watchful waiting with supportive care in children with sleep-disordered breathing. It determined that, relative to watchful waiting, most studies reported better sleep-related outcomes in children who had a tonsillectomy.

Stakeholder-engaged measure development for pediatric obstructive sleep-disordered breathing: the obstructive sleep-disordered breathing and adenotonsillectomy knowledge scale for parents.
The researchers developed a measure of parental knowledge about obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (oSDB) and adenotonsillectomy (AT). An 85-item prototype measure and 39-item modified measure were evaluated for consensus/approval and psychometric integrity Five themes (oSDB symptoms, treatment options, AT risks, anesthesia, and AT benefits) and 39 items composed the final scale.
