Abstract:
Mental capacity, assessed by several anamnestic questions, was improved by adenoidectomy in 46 children with adenoid vegetations and was influenced by hypoxic episodes during sleep. Hypoxic desaturations during sleep can be predicted by 5 anamnestic and clinical parameters (specificity 70%, sensitivity 85%).
