Latar belakang: Infeksi kronis pada tonsil palatina disertai pembesaran tonsil palatina, dapat menyebabkan sumbatan pada jalan nafas bagian atas. Gangguan pertumbuhan banyak ditemukan pada kelompok pasien ini. Tujuan: Mengetahui apakah ada pengaruh tindakan tonsiloadenoidektomi terhadap kadar serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) dan nilai body mass index (BMI) pada anak yang menderita hipertrofi tonsil palatina dan adenoid, dengan gejala obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). Metode: Desain penelitian adalah eksperimental dengan studi pre- dan post-trial, dengan membandingkan kadar IGF-1 dan nilai BMI dalam serum anak dengan gejala OSAS, sebelum dan tiga bulan setelah dilakukan tonsiloadenoidektomi. Hasil: Sesuai protokol penelitian terdapat 14 subjek penelitian, menunjukkan peningkatan nilai kadar IGF-1 dan nilai BMI. Tindakan tonsiloadenoidektomi terbukti dapat meningkatkan kadar hormon pertumbuhan, yang tergambar dari peningkatan kadar IGF-1 dan nilai BMI. Kesimpulan: Tindakan tonsiloadenoidektomi berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan kadar hormon pertumbuhan, yang disimpulkan melalui pengukuran kadar IGF-1 dan nilai BMI dalam serum anak dengan gejala OSAS. Kata kunci: tonsiloadenoidektomi, insulin-like growth factor-1, obstructive sleep apnoea syndromeABSTRACT Background: Chronic infection with the enlargement of the palatine tonsil, could cause blockage of the upper airway. Growth disorders are common in this patient group. Purpose: To determine the effect of tonsilloadenoidectomy on the level of serum IGF-1 in children with palatine tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) symptoms. Methods: The study design was experimental, pre-and post-study, by comparing the serum levels of IGF-1 and the value of Body Mass Index (BMI) in children with OSAS symptoms, before and three months after tonsiloadenoidectomy. Result: According to the study protocol, there were 14 subjects showed increased levels of IGF-1 and BMI values. Tonsilloadenoidectomy was shown to increase the growth hormone levels, which was reflected from the increased levels of IGF-1 and BMI. Conclusion: Tonsiloadenoidectomy affected the increased levels of growth hormone, which was concluded through the measurement of the levels of IGF-1 and the value of BMI in the serum of children with symptoms of OSAS.
