利用測顱術分析兒童睡眠呼吸中止症嚴重程度

The Use of Cephalometric Cytometry to Determine the Severity of Sleep Apnea in Children

摘要


顱顏構造在阻塞型睡眠呼吸中止症是一個重要的影響因子。測顱術有助於針對患有阻塞型睡眠呼吸中止症病人進行醫學性檢查時進一步發現有關解剖學上異常。文獻指出亞洲人與白種人在成人的顱顏結構是有差異。因為目前測顱術的資料大多都是來自西方的研究,有關亞洲人種的此類研究則很少見。本研究希望能建立在台灣兒童睡眠呼吸中止症的測顱術參數、腺樣體-扁桃腺肥大與呼吸障礙指數之間的相關性。對於臨床診斷、治療與預後提供了更進一步的客觀的參考依據。

Craniofacial structure is an important factor of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Cephalometry could conduce to uncover anatomical abnormalities when we perform a medical exam on the patient of obstructive sleep apnea. Previous literature indicates that there is a difference of craniofacial structures between Asian and Caucasian adults. Cephalometric studies on Asian are quite rare because of current research and literature for Cephalometry are mostly from Western studies. This study hopes to establish correlations between the parameters of cephalometric cytometry in Taiwan children with sleep apnea, the index of Adenoid-tonsil hypertrophy and respiratory disturbance index. Treatment and prognosis provides further objective reference for clinical diagnosis.
