About this study

Official title: The Impact of Sleep Disordered Breathing on Parental Quality of Life

In this prospective case-control study the investigators will enrolled parents of 45 children younger than five years of age who were planned to undergo adenotonsillectomy due to an obstructive airway indication in an academic medical center. A group of parents to healthy children will comprise the control group.

Read the detailed description

Parents of children with any chronic illness may experience increased anxiety and reduced health-related quality of life (QoL).

In this study, the investigators will analyze QoL parameters among parents of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (OSDB) children before and after surgical treatment.

In this prospective case-control study the investigators will enrolled parents of 45 children younger than five years of age who are planned to undergo adenotonsillectomy due to an obstructive airway indication in an academic medical center. A group of parents to healthy children will comprisedthe control group.

The investigators will translate and validate the PAR-ENT-QoL questionnaire through forward-backward translation method.

Main outcome measure: The questionnaire was tested for reliability, consistency, reproducibility, responsiveness, and for its clinical use.
