Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common indication for adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy in children. Traditional practice involves overnight admission to monitor for respiratory complications.

 

However, there is a shift towards same-day discharge in selected patients. This systematic review aims to critically evaluate day-case criteria and safety in children with OSA undergoing adenotonsillectomy.

 

We performed a systematic search of EMBASE, Medline and the Cochrane library.

 

All data collected were independently validated for accuracy. Quality assessment of included articles was performed. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO.
