    El desarrollo de la cirugía adenoidea ha mostrado cambios a través del tiempo y es necesario observar el efecto en la calidad de vida relacionada del paciente, por ello, el objetivo de la investigación fue comparar la calidad de vida relacionada al sueño antes y después de adenoidectomía o adenotonsilectomía en pacientes pediátricos de 3 a 15 años según el cuestionario OSA-18. Metodología: estudio tipo comparativo, diseño transversal, observando el efecto en la calidad de vida relacionada al sueño antes y después de adenoidectomía o adenotonsilectomía en 50 pacientes pediátricos de 3 a 15 años. Resultados: edad 6,58 ± 2,72 años; masculino 56%; 36,0% de los pacientes intervenidos se encontraban en un nivel III tanto en la escala de Brodsky como del índice de Fujioka; el promedio del cuestionario OSA-18, fue estadísticamente significativo entre el antes y el después de la cirugía (p<0,001) de manera general y en sus dimensiones, existiendo una disminución entre la media general del antes (86,18 ± 12,406), en comparación a la del después (40,42 ± 4,185), también se determinó previo a la intervención grave (62%), moderado (36%) y leve (2%), mientras que posterior a la cirugía se determinó que el 100% se encontró en el nivel leve. Conclusión, la realización de la cirugía de amígdalas palatinas y/o adenoides tiene un impacto positivo en la mejoría de la calidad de vida en relación al sueño de los pacientes pediátricos.The development of adenoid surgery has shown changes over time and it is necessary to observe the effect on the patient's related quality of life, therefore, the objective of the research was to compare sleep-related quality of life before and after adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy in pediatric patients 3 to 15 years of age according to the OSA-18 questionnaire. Methodology: comparative study, cross-sectional design, observing the effect on sleep-related quality of life before and after adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy in 50 pediatric patients aged 3 to 15 years. Results: age 6.58 ± 2.72 years; male 56%; 36.0% of the operated patients were at level III both on the Brodsky scale and the Fujioka index; the average of the OSA-18 questionnaire was statistically significant between before and after surgery (p<0.001) in general and in its dimensions, there being a decrease between the general average before (86.18 ± 12.406), in comparison to after (40.42 ± 4.185), it was also determined before the intervention was severe (62%), moderate (36%) and mild (2%), while after surgery it was determined that 100% were found at the mild level. Conclusion, performing tonsils and/or adenoids surgery has a positive impact on improving the quality of life in relation to sleep in pediatric patients.Recibido: 30-07-2024Aceptado: 26-09-2024Publicado: 01-11-2024
