Impact of adenotonsillectomy and palatal expansion on the apnea‐hypopnea index and minimum oxygen saturation in nonobese pediatric obstructive sleep apnea with balanced maxillomandibular relationship: A cross‐over randomized controlled trial
Initial AHI severity and AT as the first intervention accounted for most of the AHI improvement. The initial MinSaO<sub>2</sub> severity alone accounted for the most changes in MinSaO<sub>2</sub> increase. In most cases, RPE had a marginal effect on AHI and MinSaO<sub>2</sub> when adjusted for confounders.
