扁桃體肥大與睡眠呼吸障礙兒童之吞嚥功能障礙與生活品質：一項前瞻性隊列研究

// Swallowing dysfunction and quality of life in children with tonsillar hypertrophy and sleep-disordered breathing: A prospective cohort study

本研究透過兒童吞嚥生活品質問卷（Pediatric SWAL-QOL）評估扁桃體肥大與睡眠呼吸障礙（SDB）兒童的吞嚥功能｜結果顯示扁桃體肥大兒童吞嚥功能明顯較差，且手術後顯著改善｜吞嚥困難嚴重度與氣道阻塞程度相關，阿拉伯文版問卷被證實為可靠評估工具。

// This study evaluated swallowing-related quality of life in children with tonsillar hypertrophy and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) using the Pediatric SWAL-QOL questionnaire. Children with tonsillar hypertrophy had significantly worse swallowing function than controls, which improved markedly after surgery. Dysphagia severity was linked to airway obstruction rather than tonsil size. The Arabic version of the SWAL-QOL questionnaire was validated as a reliable assessment tool.
