induced sleep endoscopy in conjunction with direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy as part of a comprehensive airway evaluation for obstructive sleep apnea at a tertiary care pediatric hospital. Results: Three hundred thirty-five patients with obstructive sleep apnea were evaluated with both sleep endoscopy and direct laryngoscopy with bronchoscopy. Five percent of patients had

additional positive findings to aid with treatment planning for obstructive sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition in childhood, generally caused by
enlarged tonsils and adenoids. However, in children with OSA who have small tonsils and adenoids or who have had adenotonsillectomy, drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) has been shown to be an effective technique in identifying sites of obstruction and directing treatment [1]. DISE is often performed concurrently with direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (MDLB),

however, the incremental value of MDLB over DISE alone for these children remains unclear. The goal of this report was to find the frequency of synchronous airway lesions identified during
children with OSA at a tertiary care pediatric hospital.
2. Methods
After institutional review board (IRB) approval, a retrospective cohort study identified

MDLB that influenced treatment decisions beyond the information provided by DISE alone in
patients who underwent direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy at Lucile Packard Children’s
M AN U
Hospital from 2006 through 2014. Operative reports, clinic notes, and sleep studies were reviewed. Both children with refractory OSA after adenotonsillectomy and those with small tonsils and adenoids and no prior surgery were included. Children from 2 months to 18 years of age with obstructive sleep apnea were included in the study. Patients were excluded from the

study if direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy was not performed at the time of surgery.
After performing DISE [2], airway evaluation with MDLB was done. The vocal cords are

3. Results 3.1
Three hundred thirty-five children with obstructive sleep apnea who underwent (MDLB)
concurrently with DISE were identified. Average age at the time of surgery was 7 years. One hundred sixty-two children (48%) had a history of intubation prior to MDLB. This includes one hundred forty-one children who had been intubated only during prior adenotonsillectomy and

twenty-one children who were intubated for other reasons. Fifty-one children evaluated had an underlying genetic disorder (15%). This includes eighteen children with trisomy 21. Forty-six children were obese (13%), as defined by a body mass index at or above the 95th percentile for

this study.
Synchronous airway lesions (SAL) were identified in 17 patients (5%) during MDLB.

The most common were subglottic stenosis, subglottic cysts and vascular compression. One of these patients had two lesions identified. Three of the 17 children (18%) had surgical correction of the SAL. Surgical intervention consisted of incision of subglottic cyst with balloon dilation in two patients with subglottic cysts, and balloon dilation in one patient with grade two subglottic stenosis. These results are summarized in Table 1. There were no complications associated with MDLB.

3.5
Thirty-three percent of patients who were intubated for any reason other than
adenotonsillectomy had a SAL identified on MDLB. Only three percent of patients who were
RI PT
not intubated or were intubated only during adenotonsillectomy had a SAL identified. Using Fisher’s exact test, history of intubation for any reason other than adenotonsillectomy is
associated with SAL (P < 0.0001). All children with clinically significant and surgically
SC
correctable lesions did have a history of prior intubation. No patients with SAL identified on
M AN U
MDLB had a documented history of stridor on physical exam prior to MDLB.
No children with SAL identified on MDLB were obese. When analyzed individually, neither genetic disorder nor history of prematurity was a predictor for SAL. However, when comparing the rate of SAL in all children with history of prematurity or with genetic, neurologic,
TE D
or craniofacial co-morbidities (19%) to the rate of SAL in otherwise healthy children who were full term (0.4%), there is a significant association between co-morbidity and SAL (P < 0.0001). The average patient age when a SAL was identified on MDLB was 5 years. The average patient

age when no synchronous airway lesion was found on MDLB was 7 years.
The overall average AHI was 13. The AHI was available for fifteen of the seventeen patients with synchronous airway lesions. The average AHI in this group was 15. The difference in AHI between groups was not statistically significant.

4. Discussion 4.1
This report highlights a low 5% rate of SALs identified on MDLB, with less than 1% rate
of SALs which require additional surgical correction. Based on these findings, we conclude that

MDLB in most cases is unnecessary. Our results suggest that concurrent MDLB with DISE may have utility in a limited subset of pediatric patients with OSA who have a history of intubation

With the increasing use of distal chip fiberoptic scopes for flexible laryngoscopy and

for any reason other than adenotonsillectomy, or have a history of prematurity, or history of

laryngoscopy or DISE.
There are a few limitations to this study. Due to the retrospective nature of the study, it is
EP
difficult to know for sure whether any of the subglottic lesions identified on MDLB may have also been at least partially visible on DISE. As such, the incremental benefit of concurrent
AC C
MDLB with DISE may be even lower than the findings of this study demonstrate. An additional limitation of this study is that post-operative polysomnograms were not available for some of the children who were found to have SAL on MDLB. Future investigations could compare long term outcomes of children with OSA and SAL who were treated with surgery versus observation alone.

4.4
This is the first study analyzing the marginal benefit of performing MDLB in addition to
DISE specifically in patients with OSA. Previous studies have shown that sleep endoscopy is effective at identifying SAL and plays a significant role in determining the final treatment plan
RI PT
[2-7]. In contrast, the current retrospective cohort study shows that less than 1% of patients with difficult to treat OSA had a change in treatment plan due to findings from the MDLB. The
SC
outcome of this review has changed how we practice.
