// Acoustic rhinometry for the assessment of adenoid hypertrophy: A systematic review
回顧13項研究(650兒童，至2023/12)評估聲學鼻腔測定(AR，非侵入)在腺樣體肥大之應用｜多數顯示AR與內視鏡/影像中強相關，術後鼻咽容積增；但缺乏信度、標準化與常模，與症狀關聯不清｜結論：AR具輔助潛力，仍需高品質研究才能納入常規
// This systematic review evaluated acoustic rhinometry (AR) as a non-invasive tool to diagnose and monitor adenoid hypertrophy in children by synthesizing 13 clinical studies (650 participants) up to December 2023. Most studies found AR measurements differed between patients and controls, showed moderate–strong correlations with adenoid size by endoscopy/radiography/excised tissue, and increased nasopharyngeal dimensions after adenoidectomy. However, studies lacked test–retest and inter-rater reliability data, standardized protocols, pediatric normative values, and clear links to nasal obstruction or symptoms. Therefore AR is a promising adjunct but not yet ready for routine clinical use; well-designed studies are needed before implementation.
