Özet

Objective: Tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy may cause recurrent tonsillitis and upper airway obstruction in children. A reduced dietary intake and failure to gain weight is frequently reported by parents of children with a history of recurrent acute tonsillitis and adenotonsiller hypertrophy. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate whether surgical treatment of adenotonsillar hypertrophy affects the circulating concentrations of insulin-tike growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) along with IGF-1 SDS and IGFBP-3 SDS's adjusted to age which are more important in evaluating growth in childhood.
