Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Its Therapy: Clinical and Polysomnographic Manifestations
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was studied in 32 children, aged 2 to 14 years, in the sleep-wake disorders center at Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center during the years 1977 to 1980. All children under-went all-night polysomnograms; 17 of these children had surgery to relieve airway obstruction and seven had a repeat polysomnographic study 4 to 6 weeks following the surgery. There was a significant improvement in the number of obstructive apneas and in other apnea indices following surgery. There was no significant effect on the durations and the proportions of the various sleep stages, on sleep efficiency, or on the number of awakenings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
