Effect of OSA Resulting From Chronic Tonsillitis on Pregnancy Outcomes

April 30, 2024 updated by: Xiaowan Du, Peking University First Hospital

Effect of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Resulting From Chronic Tonsillitis on Pregnancy Outcomes

This cohort study aims to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) resulting from chronic tonsillitis on pregnancy outcomes. The hypothesis posits that chronic tonsillitis-induced OSA may exacerbate pregnancy complications and increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Study Population

Pregnant women who have established prenatal care records and undergone antenatal check-ups at PKUFH

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant women confirmed with chronic tonsillitis by clinical diagnosis and presenting symptoms.
  • Pregnant women with a confirmed diagnosis of OSA based on polysomnography or other validated sleep monitoring techniques.
  • Pregnant women who are willing to participate in the study and provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant women with other respiratory or sleep disorders that may confound the diagnosis of OSA.
  • Pregnant women with severe comorbidities or medical conditions that may significantly impact pregnancy outcomes.

Apgar score of newborns
Time Frame: 10 months
The Apgar score consists of five main indicators: skin color, heart rate, response to stimulation, muscle tone, and respiration. Each indicator is scored from 0 to 2, with a total score of 10. This scoring method serves as a guiding tool for the resuscitation of newborns with asphyxia and could provide a degree of predictive value for the neurological development of infants in the future.
