Background The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and type of respiratory complications after urgent adenotonsillectomy (study group) for comparison with a control group of children undergoing a sleep study and adenotonsillectomy for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. A second aim was to assess risk factors predictive of respiratory complications after urgent adenotonsillectomy. Methods The perioperative course of children who underwent adenotonsillectomy between January 1, 1999, and March 31, 2001, was reviewed. Two groups of children were identified from two different databases: the hospital database for surgical procedures (the study group) and the sleep laboratory database (the control group). The retrospective chart review focused on the preoperative status (including an evaluation for obstructive sleep apnea), anesthetic management, and need for postoperative respiratory interventions. Results A total of 64 consecutive cases for urgent adenotonsillectomy were identified, and 54 children met the inclusion criteria. Thirty-three children (60%) had postoperative respiratory complications necessitating a medical intervention; 11 (20.3%) required a major intervention (reintubation, ventilation, and/or administration of racemic epinephrine or Ventolin), and 22 (40.7%) required a minor intervention (oxygen administration). Six children (11.1%) required reintubation in the recovery room for respiratory compromise. Risk factors for respiratory complications were an associated medical condition (odds ratio, 8.15; 95% confidence interval, 1.81-36.73) and a preoperative saturation nadir less than 80% (odds ratio, 5.54; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-26.72). Sixteen (49%) of the medical interventions were required within the first postoperative hour. Atropine administration, at induction, decreased the risk of postoperative respiratory complications (odds ratio, 0.18; 95% confidence interval, 0.11-1.050. Control Group Of 75 children who underwent a sleep study and adenotonsillectomy, 44 had sleep apnea and were admitted to hospital after elective adenotonsillectomy. Sixteen (36.4%) children had postoperative respiratory complications necessitating a medical intervention. Six percent of the children (n = 3) required a major medical intervention. No child required reintubation for respiratory compromise. Conclusions Severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and an associated medical condition are risk factors for postadenotonsillectomy respiratory complications. Risk reductions strategies should focus on their assessment.

Abstract Background Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the inflammation of the adnexa of the uterus, that mainly manifests in a subclinical/chronic context and goes largely underreported. However, it poses a major threat to women’s health, as it is responsible for infertility and ectopic pregnancies, as well as chronic pelvic pain. Previous studies in Jordan have not reported PID, attributed mainly to the social structure of the country which largely represents a sexually conservative population. Our study aims to report the clinical symptoms that point towards PID and investigate the major risk determinants for the Jordanian population, in a cross-sectional study, using our scoring system based only on clinical data and examination. Methods One hundred sixty-eight consecutive adult women that came in the Outpatient Clinics of Gynaecological Department of the Jordan University Hospital were interviewed and their medical history and symptoms were registered and analysed. A Score for PID symptoms, we developed, was given to each woman. Results and correlations were then statistically tested. Results Our study population consisted of relatively young women (37.7 ± 11) that had their first child at an average age of 24.1 (± 4.8) and a mean parity of 3.1 (± 2.2). Fifty-eight women (34.5%) reported having undergone at least one CS, while the mean PID Symptom Score was 3.3 (± 2.3). The women in our study exhibited 8 symptoms of PID, namely dysmenorrhea and vaginal discharge; being the commonest (45.2% and 44.6% respectively), in addition to chronic pelvic pain, pelvic heaviness, menorrhagia, dyspareunia, urinary symptoms, and smelly urine. They also reported history of 3 conditions that can be attributed to PID, that is infertility, preterm labour, and miscarriages. Conclusions Our PID Scoring System seems to identify the risk factors of PID and predict well the PID likelihood. This score predicts that women with higher parity, who used contraceptives and underwent any invasive medical procedure are expected to score higher in the PID Symptom Score. Our data also suggest that PID should not be ruled out in the Jordanian population when symptoms are compatible to this diagnosis.
