Objective: There is a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in pediatric and adult Down Syndrome (DS) patients that is refractory to adenotonsillectomy and continuous positive airway pressure. Newer treatment modalities have emerged with improved outcomes. The objective is to provide an updated systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the clinical outcomes of OSA in pediatric and adult DS patients with hypoglossal nerve stimulation using Inspire, midline posterior glossectomy plus lingual tonsillectomy (MPG + LT), and combined genioglossus advancement plus radiofrequency (GGS + RF). Methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed and Google Scholar was performed followed by a meta-analysis. Studies with preoperative and post-operative Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) values were included with patients serving as their own control. Results: Across 5 studies, 56 patients were analyzed. The mean reduction in AHI was statistically significant before vs. after procedure ( P < .001 for hypoglossal nerve stimulation using Inspire with a paired 2-tailed t-test and P = .031 for MPG + LT). Although individual patient AHI values were unavailable in the GGS + RF study, the standard difference in mean AHI was also significant for GGS + RF with P = .001. Device malfunction was the most common complication for Inspire while postoperative bleeding was observed for MPG + LT and nasopharyngeal obstruction and retropalatal collapse were observed for GGS + RF. Conclusion: This review reveals significant improvement in AHI with Inspire, MPG + LT, and GGS + RF for DS patients with refractory OSA. Further investigation is needed for comparison between these 3 therapies.

AbstractThe objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to critically analyze and summarize studies reporting association of salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels as a biomarker for dental caries in Down syndrome (DS) patients. Using the keywords salivary [All Fields] AND IgA [All Fields] AND (“down syndrome” [MeSH Terms] OR (“down”[All Fields] AND “syndrome” [All Fields]) OR “down syndrome” [All Fields]), an electronic search was conducted via PubMed and Scopus databases by two authors, H. H. and Z. K. independently. Retrieved studies were screened against the predefined exclusion and inclusion criteria. To estimate the risk of bias, quality assessment of included studies was carried using the Newcastle–Ottawa quality assessment scale for observational studies. Primary search resulted in 10 articles from PubMed and 13 articles from Scopus. Ten studies fulfilled the defined selection criteria and evaluated the salivary IgA (sIgA) level in DS patients with dental caries. Five articles were further analyzed in a quantitative synthesis presented in the meta-analysis. Due to a modified lifestyle and compromised oral hygiene in DS patients, understandably, it is still postulated in the literature that the presence of sIgA can have a protective effect on the occurrence of dental caries as compared with healthy counterparts. As indicated by the present meta-analysis, no conclusions can be drawn as to definitively label sIgA as a biomarker for dental caries. Further, well-designed longitudinal clinical studies and translational research are therefore required before the benchmarking of sIgA as a useful biomarker for dental caries in DS patients with preferable molecular insights.
