Purpose
To determine whether patients with clinically node negative (cNo) high grade salivary gland carcinomas benefit from an elective neck dissection prior to postoperative radiotherapy (RT).Material/Methods
Between October 1964 and October 2009, 59 previously untreated patients with cNo high-grade salivary gland carcinomas (squamous cell carcinomas were excluded) were treated with curative intent using elective neck dissection (END; n = 41), or elective neck irradiation (ENI; n = 18) at the University of Florida College of Medicine (Gainesville, FL). All patients underwent resection of the primary cancer followed by postoperative RT. The median follow-up period was 5.2 years (range, 0.3–34 years).Results
Occult metastases were found in 18 (44%) of the 41 patients in the END group. There were 4 recurrences (10%) in the END group and 0 recurrence in the ENI group. Neck control rates at 5 years were: END, 90%; ENI, 100%; and overall, 93% (p = 0.1879). Cause-specific survival was 94% in the ENI group, 84% in the END group, and 86% for all patients (p = 0.6998). There were 3 reported grade 3 or 4 toxicities. Two patients had a postoperative fistula and one patient had a grade 4 osteoradionecrosis that required a partial mandibulectomy.Conclusions
Patients with cNo high grade salivary gland carcinomas who are planned to undergo surgery and postoperative RT likely do not benefit from a planned neck dissection. 相似文献2.

Purpose
To report outcomes in patients treated with postoperative radiotherapy for nonadenoid cystic carcinomas of the major salivary glands.Materials and Methods
From 1998–2011, 37 patients with nonadenoid cystic carcinomas of the major salivary gland underwent postoperative radiotherapy. The median radiation dose was 60 Gy (range, 45–70 Gy). TNM distribution included T1–2 (n = 16, 44%), T3–T4 (n = 21, 56%), N0 (n = 19, 51%), and N + (n = 18, 49%). Histologies included adenocarcinoma (n = 13, 35%), squamous cell carcinoma (n = 8, 22%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (n = 8, 22%), and other (n = 8, 21%). Median follow-up was 4.7 years for all patients (range, 0.3–14.1 years) and 5.0 years for living patients (range, 1.2–12.2 years).Results
Five-year local-regional control, overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were 97%, 76%, and 84%. On univariate analysis, OS was significantly worse for patients ≥ 65 years old (p = 0.04). CSS was significantly worse for positive perineural invasion (p = 0.02), extraparenchymal extension (p = 0.04), and in patients who received no chemotherapy (p = 0.02). Doses > 60 Gy was significantly worse for OS (p = 0.003) and CSS (p = 0.003), although these patients had higher TNM (> T2, p = 0.01) and trended towards a higher rate of extraparenchymal extension (p = 0.08). Four patients (11%) developed ≥ grade 2 toxicities; 3 patients developed early toxicities and one patient developed late toxicities.Conclusions
Radiotherapy for salivary gland tumors provides excellent local-regional control when combined with surgery. Distant metastasis is the predominant pattern of failure, although chemotherapy seemed to improve cancer-specific survival. 相似文献3.

Purpose
Multidisciplinary team (MDT) care is widely accepted as best practice for patients with head and neck cancer, although there is little evidence that MDT care improves head and neck cancer related outcomes. This study aims to determine the impact of MDT care on measurable clinical quality indicators (CQIs) associated with improved patient outcomes.Materials and methods
Patients treated for head and neck cancer at Ipswich Hospital from 2001 to 2008 were identified. Comparisons were made in adherence to CQIs between patients treated before (pre MDT) and after (post MDT) the introduction of the MDT. Associations were tested using the Chi-square and Whitney U-test.Results
Treatment post MDT was associated with greater adherence to CQIs than pre MDT. Post MDT had higher rates of: dental assessment (59% versus 22%, p < .0001), nutritional assessment (57% versus 39%, p = .015), PET staging (41% versus 2%, p < .0001), chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) for locally advanced disease (66% versus 16%, p < .0001) and use of adjuvant CRT for high risk disease (49% versus 16%, p < .0001). The interval between surgery and radiotherapy was shorter in the post MDT group (p = .009) as was the mean length of hospitalization (p = .002).Conclusions
This study highlights the measurable advantages of MDT care over the standard, less formalized, referral process. 相似文献4.

Purpose
To determine if FDG-PET results can predict for outcome in thyroid cancer patients with elevated Tg and negative I-131 imaging.Materials and methods
We conducted a retrospective review of 76 patients who had elevated serum Tg and negative 131I scintigraphy and who underwent FDG-PET. After FDG-PET, patients underwent neck dissection or radiation.Results
The 51 patients with positive FDG-PET had a 5-year survival of 63% compared to 100% (p < 0.049) for the 25 patients with negative PET. Patients with FDG-avid disease isolated to the lymph nodes had 5-year CSS of 91% compared to 32% (p = 0.0033) for those with disease outside the regional lymph nodes. Twenty-nine patients with disease isolated to the regional lymph nodes underwent salvage neck dissection and 22 remain NED after 28 months.Conclusions
Negative FDG-PET with elevated Tg predicts an excellent outcome. FDG-avid disease isolated to the regional lymph nodes had a low likelihood of death due to thyroid cancer. 相似文献5.

Objective
This study analyzed synovial sarcoma (SS) of the head and neck in order to identify features associated with survival improvement and compared them with the survival of SS of limbs.Methods
Clinical charts and histopathologic material with analysis for SYT/SSX gene rearrangement of 16 patients were reviewed. The clinicopathologic features and their association with survival were analyzed and compared with 174 SS of limbs.Results
The average age was 24.2 years (range 21–86). Eight cases occurred in each sex. The most frequent site was the parapharyngeal space (PPS). The mean tumor size was 5.38 cm. Sixty-nine percent occurred in Stages II–III and 9% in Stage IV. Fifteen cases were excised: R0 resection in seven (46.7%) cases and R1 resection in eight (53.3%) cases. No patient with R0 resection has recurred, and three patients (37.5%) with R1 resection have recurred (p = 0.035). Patients with R0 surgery had better survival rates compared to those who received other treatments (p = 0.045). SS of head and neck showed a 5-year survival rate of 58% compared to 44.6% of the limbs (p = 0.450).Conclusion
The most prevalent location was the PPS. Surgical resection with clear margins correlated with low recurrence. Head and neck sarcomas had similar survival rates compared to sarcomas of limbs. 相似文献6.

Purpose
To assess the efficacy of postoperative radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of cutaneous melanoma.Materials
Between August 1981 and December 2009, 82 patients were treated with surgery and postoperative RT for cutaneous melanoma. Patients were thought to be high risk for local–regional recurrence after surgery alone because of the presence of one or more risk factors including recurrence after prior surgery, positive lymph nodes, extracapsular extension, incomplete regional node dissection, microscopically positive margins, gross residual disease, and in-transit metastases. The primary site was located in the head and neck in 64 patients and elsewhere in the remainder. Forty-two patients (47%) were treated with hypofractionated RT and the remainder with conventional fractionation. Median age was 62 years (range, 21 to > 89 years). Median follow-up overall and for survivors was 3.0 years (range, 0.1 to 17.4 years) and 6.4 years (1.6 to 17.4 years), respectively.Results
The 5-year outcomes were: in-field local–regional control 82%; local–regional control, 76%; distant metastasis-free survival, 48%; cause-specific survival, 56%; and overall survival, 43%. In-field local–regional control at 5 years was 87% after hypofractionated RT and 78% after conventionally fractionated RT.Conclusions
Postoperative adjuvant RT likely reduces the risk of local–regional recurrence after surgery for patients with high risk cutaneous melanoma. Hypofractionated RT is as effective as conventional fractionation and is logistically advantageous, particularly for patients with a relatively poor prognosis. The risk of RT complications is low. 相似文献7.

Purpose
Little is known about prognostic factors and treatment outcomes in young patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). The goal of this study is to define the clinical features of this subgroup.Material and methods
Patients age 55 or younger with either ATC or well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) with anaplastic changes were identified using electronic medical record at the Cleveland Clinic. The same number of patients older than 55 was randomly selected to serve as control. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival time (OST) and cause-specific mortality (CSM) were measured against age, tumor histology, extent of disease, and treatment modalities.Results
Twelve patients age 55 or younger were identified. The median age was 51 years. Four patients had WDTC with anaplastic components — mixed tumor group (MTG). Their median PFS, OST, and CSM at 24 months were 21.5 months, 51 months, and 25%, respectively. For the other 8 patients who had pure ATC, their median PFS, OST, and CSM were 3.5 months, 6 months, and 100%, respectively. Patients in the MTG had better survival compared to the pure ATC and control group in terms of PFS (p = 0.0047 and p = 0.0053), OST (p = 0.0028 and p = 0.0029) and the CSM at 24 months (p = 0.0339 and p = 0.0096). In the pure ATC group, patients with positive cervical lymph node and distant metastases had similar overall survival outcomes (6 vs. 8 months, p = 0.4995).Conclusion
Prognostic factors favoring survival in young patients with ATC include ATC arising within WDTC. Once full anaplastic transformation occurs, age was not a significant factor in survival. 相似文献8.

Purpose
Malignant head and neck paragangliomas (MHNPs) are rare and occur in 6%–19% of all HNPs. We sought to identify predictors of survival and compare efficacy of treatment modalities to inform management of this rare disease.Materials and methods
We performed a retrospective cohort study of MHNP cases in the National Cancer Institute Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database (SEER) from 1973 to 2009. We identified 86 patients with MHNP who had documented regional or distant tumor spread with a median follow-up of 74 months. We used Cox proportional hazard models to assess the significance of demographic factors and treatment on five-year overall survival.Results
The most common treatment was surgery alone (36.0 %), followed by surgery with adjuvant radiation (33.7%). Five-year overall survival was 88.1% for surgery alone and 66.5% for adjuvant radiation (p = 0.2251). In univariate analysis, regional (vs. distant) spread (HR 0.23, p < 0.0001), surgery alone (HR 0.29, p < 0.0001) and primary site in the carotid body (HR 0.32, p = 0.006) conferred significant survival advantage whereas age > 50 (HR 4.04, p < 0.0001) worsened survival. Regional (vs. distant) spread (HR 0.42, p = 0.046) and age > 50 (HR 2.98, p = 0.005) remained significant in multivariate analysis. In patients with regional-only disease, five-year overall survival was 95.4% for surgery alone compared to 75.6% for surgery with radiation (p = 0.1055).Conclusions
This is the largest and most contemporary series of MHNP patients. Age and tumor stage are significant factors in predicting survival. Surgical resection significantly improves survival outcomes. From this analysis, the value of adjuvant radiation is not clear. 相似文献9.

Purpose
To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC).Materials and methods
The medical records of 23 patients treated with definitive or postoperative RT between 1992 and 2010 at the University of Florida were retrospectively reviewed. Fifteen patients (65%) received primary surgery and postoperative RT. Radiation doses ranged from 59.0 to 74.8 Gy (median, 70.2 Gy). The median follow-up time for all patients was 3.0 years (range, 0.9–19.9), and for living patients was 7.7 years (range, 2.5–19.9).Results
The actuarial 5-year survival outcomes were as follows: progression-free survival, 42%; cause-specific survival, 43%; and overall survival, 32%. Actuarial 5-year disease control rates were as follows: local control (infield or marginal), 74%; local-regional control (excluding leptomeningeal spread), 58%, regional control 78%, freedom from leptomeningeal recurrence, 72%, and distant metastasis-free survival, 73%. Five of the 8 (62.5%) patients treated with definitive RT died with disease, and 6 of the 15 patients (40%) treated with primary surgery and postoperative RT died with disease. Three patients (13%) experienced severe complications including unilateral eye removal, osteoradionecrosis of the maxilla requiring hyperbaric oxygen and surgery, and brain necrosis. One patient died due to an infected bone graft and brain abscess.Conclusions
A multimodal approach is best when treating SNUC patients. The prognosis for patients treated with definitive RT ± chemotherapy is less promising than for those who receive surgery and postoperative RT ± chemotherapy. Severe complications occur in about 17% of patients due to the high dose of RT alone or combined with surgery required for acceptable disease control. 相似文献10.

Purpose
Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) are rare tumors of the head and neck that often have non-specific presentations and significant morbidity and mortality. In this analysis we use a large cohort to compare the demographic and disease-specific parameters affecting survival and incidence of DLBCLs.Methods
The United States National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry was utilized to extract data regarding sinonasal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma between 1973 and 2009. A total of 852 cases of sinonasal DLBCLs were found. Presenting symptoms, demographics, disease specific survival, relative survival and survival by treatment modality were described for this rare tumor.Results
Overall disease specific survival (DSS) at 1-year was 84.7% and at 5 years was 68.0%. DSS was significantly lower for those not treated with radiation therapy, with 1- and 5-year survival rates of 77.3% and 62.5%, versus those treated with radiation therapy, with 1- and 5-year rates of 89.2% and 71.5% (p < 0.05). Prognosis was significantly better for patients treated with radiation therapy (HR 0.6, p < 0.05) while it was poorer for patients with involvement of multiple sinuses (HR 1.5, 1.8, p < 0.05).Conclusions
DLBCLs of the sinonasal tract are rare tumors of the head and neck. Survival is significantly improved for those treated with radiation therapy while the involvement of multiple sinuses is a negative prognostic indicator. 相似文献11.

Purpose/objective
To assess the interaction of HPV/p16 status and therapy rendered in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx.Materials and methods
Forty-seven consecutive patients receiving definitive treatment between 2009 and 2011 for locally advanced larynx or hypopharynx cancer with high-risk HPV and/or p16 testing performed were identified and retrospectively investigated. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) were assessed.Results
Of 47 evaluable patients, there were 38 (81%) with laryngeal and 9 (19%) with hypopharyngeal tumors, 13 (28%) of which were found to be either HPV or p16 positive. At a median follow-up of 24 months, comparing HPV/p16 + versus HPV/p16 − patients, there was no difference in OS, DFS, or LRFS. There was an improvement in 2-year DFS (60% vs 100%, P = .03) and LRFS (80% vs 100%, P = .08), in HPV/p16 + patients treated with chemo/RT versus surgery. There was an improvement in 2-year DFS (100% vs 68%, P = .04) and LRFS (100% vs 72%, P = .05) in HPV/p16 + versus HPV/p16 − patients who received chemo/RT.Conclusions
Patients with HPV/p16 + tumors fared more favorably with chemo/RT than up-front surgery, with improvements in DFS and LRFS. In patients treated with the intent of organ preservation therapy, HPV/p16 + patients had no observed treatment failures. HPV/p16 status should be taken into account when considering organ preservation for locally advanced larynx and hypopharynx cancers. 相似文献12.

Background
Neck dissection is recommended for patients with head and neck cutaneous melanoma and nodal metastasis. However, there appears to be no clear evidence to guide the extent of nodal resection.Methods
Loco-regional recurrence (LR), overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) was retrospectively compared between patients who had Comprehensive neck dissection (CND) and Selective neck dissection (SND).Results
There was no difference in LR, OS and PFS between CND (n = 18) and SND groups (n = 79). Extra capsular extension (ECE), frontal disease and increasing number of involved nodes resulted in worse OS and PFS but had no impact on LR.Conclusion
Patients with disease limited to one node without ECE can be effectively treated by SND alone. In patients who have these unfavourable pathological features more extensive nodal resection does not improve outcome if they receive radiotherapy. Extent of neck dissection or adjuvant radiotherapy has no impact on overall survival. 相似文献13.

Objectives
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a very rare epithelioid tumor with different prognostic factors relating to overall survival. This study aims to analyze the prognostic factors, outcome and the value of surgical therapy on recurrent disease.Materials and methods
From 1992 to 2006, a total of 33 patients with ACC originating in minor salivary glands of the oral cavity were clinicopathologically reviewed. Clinical and histological data was analyzed by univariate analysis using the log-rank test.Results
64% of patients had a low-grade and 36% had a high grade disease. The 2-, 5- and 10-year survivals were 89.7%, 62.1% and 54.2%. The T category (p = 0.001), N category (p = 0.027), UICC stage (p < 0.0001), and resection margins (p = 0.024) influenced survival. Salvage treatment influenced patient's overall survival (p = 0.002).Conclusion
This study confirms that in ACC T category, N category, UICC stage, and resection margin status correlates well with prognosis. Salvage surgery of patients with recurrent ACC should be performed if possible as the survival is significantly increased. 相似文献14.

Objectives
Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is a common condition in childhood, whose serious complications of pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale are devastating but local prevalence is unknown. This study determined the prevalence and associated factors of pulmonary hypertension in children with adenoid or adenotonsillar hypertrophy at Kenyatta National Hospital, Kenya.Methods
This was a cross sectional hospital based survey conducted among children below 12 years of age with clinical and radiological adenoid hypertrophy attending the ear, nose and throat (ENT) outpatient clinic and general pediatric wards. Doppler echocardiography was used to determine pulmonary hypertension defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of ≥25 mm Hg using the Chemla equation. Children with mPAP of ≥25 mm Hg were compared to those with lower pressures and clinical and radiological factors associated with pulmonary hypertension determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results
Of the 123 eligible children in the study, 27 had pulmonary hypertension giving a prevalence of 21.9% (95% CI 14.64%–29.27%). Independent factors associated with pulmonary hypertension included nasal obstruction (OR = 3.0 [95% CI 1.08–8.44] p = 0.035) and hyperactivity on history (OR = 0.2 [95% CI 0.07–0.59] p = 0.003) and adenoid-nasopharyngeal ratio (ANR) >0.825 on lateral neck radiography (OR = 5.0 [95% CI 1.01–24.37] p = 0.048).Conclusion
One in five children with adenoid or adenotonsillar hypertrophy had pulmonary hypertension with a 3-fold and 5-fold increased odds in those with nasal obstruction on history and ANR >0.825 on lateral neck radiography respectively and an 80% reduced odds in reportedly hyperactive children. 相似文献15.
Purpose
To examine the relationship between tobacco smoking history and the clinicopathologic and survival characteristics of patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC).Materials and methods
This is a retrospective review of 531 patients treated for OCSCC from January 1998 to December 2009 at a tertiary care medical center.Results
Thirty-two percent of OCSCC patients were never smokers. There were significant differences in tumor location between ever smokers and never smokers (p < 0.001), with never smokers more likely to have oral tongue tumors. Smokers were significantly (p < 0.001) more likely than never smokers to present with locally advanced (T3 or T4) disease (57.8% vs. 35.4%). Never smokers demonstrated improved overall survival (78.8 months in never smokers vs. 44.7 months in ever smokers, p = .03). However, there were no survival differences when the two groups were compared separately for locally early (T1/T2) or advanced (T3/T4) disease. For T1/T2 tumors, mean survival was 88.2 months for never smokers and 78.5 months for smokers (p = .10). For T3/T4 tumors, median survival was 29.1 months for never smokers and 23.8 months for smokers (p = .09).Conclusions
Primary tumor location and T-status in OCSCC differed between never smokers and smokers. Compared to smokers, never smokers had fewer locally advanced tumors and better overall survival. 相似文献16.
Purpose
Techniques for Baha® implantation continue to evolve. The Weber technique, utilizing a 1.5 cm horizontal incision for Baha® implantation is evaluated.Methods
Retrospective review of patients undergoing Baha® implantation by a single surgeon over three years.Results
33 Baha®s implanted in 30 patients. Fourteen used an Inverted J (IJ) incision with an anteriorly-based skin-flap, 13 with the Weber technique (W). Five were not included as other techniques were used. Demographics and weeks to activation (14.58 vs 13.4, p = 0.12) were similar. There were no differences in the number of patients with minor complications (5 vs 2, p = 0.22) or number of minor complications (20 vs 4, p = 0.09). One patient in the IJ Group required operative revision for overgrowth. There were no infections in the IJ Group, and one requiring oral antibiotics in the W Group. Follow-up was longer in the IJ Group (41 vs 13 weeks, p = 0.016), no complications occurred after 14 weeks post-op. Mean operative times were similar (43 vs 39 min, p = 0.59). There were no cases of skin flap necrosis in either group.Conclusion
A small incision for Baha® implantation proved as effective, without increased complications as a skin-flap based technique. 相似文献17.

Purpose
To evaluate surgical outcomes for adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the external auditory canal (EAC).Methods
Forty-three patients with ACC of the EAC in Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University were analyzed retrospectively for survival. The patients were staged according to the modified Pittsburgh staging system. Thirteen patients with T1 stage underwent local resection (LR), 6 patients with T1 stage underwent lateral temporal bone resection (LTBR), and 8 patients with T1 stage underwent LTBR including superficial parotidectomy (SP). Two patients with T2 stage underwent LTBR, and 1 patient with T2 stage underwent LTBR + SP. Three patients with T3 stage underwent LTBR. One patient with T4 stage underwent LTBR, two patients with T4 stage underwent subtotal temporal bone resection (STBR), and 7 patients with T4 stage underwent LTBR + SP.Results
Of all patients that underwent surgery, 13 died of their primary cancers during the follow-up time. The 5-year survival rates of patients with T stages 1 through 4 were 85%, 67%, 67%, and 30%, respectively. There was statistically significant difference in 5-year survival rate between T1 and other stages (T2, T3, T4) using the log-rank test (p < 0.05). There was significant difference in 5-year survival rate between T4 and other stages using the log-rank test (p < 0.05). The 5-year survival rates after LR, LTBR or LTBR plus SP for T1 were 77%, 87% and 100%, respectively. The 5-year survival rates after LTBR, STBR or LTBR plus SP for T4 were 0%, 50% and 29%, respectively. The 5-year survival rates for 19 patients with clear surgical margins and 24 patients with positive margins were 89% and 54%, respectively. The 5-year survival rates of patients with radiotherapy and without radiotherapy were 62% and 86%, respectively.Conclusion
An en bloc resection including superficial parotidectomy is favored in an effort to produce negative surgical margins for ACC of the EAC. Adjunctive radiotherapy is used for patients with positive margins and in advanced lesions. 相似文献18.

Objective
We examined the completion rate, safety, and adverse events in patients with T2N0 glottic carcinoma who received chemoradiotherapy with S-1 (tegafur–gimeracil–oteracil potassium).Methods
In T2N0 glottic carcinoma patients, we retrospectively compared the local control rate and outpatient therapy completion rate between 20 patients who received radiotherapy plus S-1 (S-1 group) and 20 who received radiotherapy alone (RT group).Results
Local recurrence was not detected in any of the 20 subjects from the S-1 group, whereas local recurrence was found in 4 of the 20 subjects (20%) from the RT group (p < 0.05). Outpatient treatment was completed by 15 of the 20 subjects from the S-1 group and 17 of the 20 subjects from the RT group (p = 0.43).Conclusion
We investigated chemoradiotherapy with S-1 in patients who had T2N0 glottic carcinoma and found a higher local control rate when compared with radiotherapy alone as well as comparable safety for outpatient delivery. 相似文献19.

Objectives
To evaluate the impacts of obstructive adenotonsillar disease on periodontal health and to assess the efficacy of adenotonsillectomy in the prevention of chronic periodontitis in children.Methods
This prospective and controlled clinical study was conducted between August 2012 and February 2013 with 35 pediatric patients who had permanent anterior dentition. The study group included twenty patients (n = 20) who had complaints of chronic mouth breathing and snoring and were diagnosed with obstructive adenotonsillar disease. These patients underwent adenoidectomy with or without tonsillectomy. We performed periodontal examinations to assess the periodontal health status in these children before and two months after surgery. The periodontal measures included plaque index (PI), pocket depth (PD) and gingival index scores (GI). Subsequently, these periodontal measures were compared with healthy control group who had no adenotonsillar disease (n = 15).Results
Among the study group six patients underwent adenoidectomy and 14 patients underwent adenoidectomy combined with either tonsillectomy or tonsillotomy. The preoperative PI, PD and GI scores of the study group were 1.27 ± 0.39, 1.34 ± 0.31 and 0.97 ± 0.37 respectively. These scores were significantly higher compared to the control group (p < 0.001). These periodontal index scores were significantly improved after surgery (p = 0.008 for PI and p < 0.001 for both PD and GI). In addition, we found no difference in postoperative values of PD and GI between the study group and control group.Conclusion
We concluded that obstructive adenotonsillar disease adversely affects periodontal health in children and surgical management of obstruction improves the clinical findings. However, more comprehensive research is required to elucidate the association between adenotonsillar hypertrophy and periodontal disease. 相似文献20.
