Abstract: To explore the influence of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) on physical growth characters in preschool children and the effect of the operations. Methods49 children with OSAHS proved by polysomnography(PSG)had their physical growth characters determined before and 6 months after the operations. 40 healthy children served as controls. Results① Before the operations, all physical growth characters of the moderate and severe OSAHS groups were significantly lower than those of the control group, however only the height and sitting height of the mild OSAHS group were lower than those of the control group. ② 6 months after the operations, physical growth characters of the mild and moderate OSAHS groups were not significantly lower than those of the control group, but some of the severe OSAHS group still were lower than those of the control group. ConclusionsOSAHS can effect physical growth and neuropsychological characters of preschool children and should be operated on early.
