DISE performed in otherwise healthy and surgically naïve infants and children with OSA altered the therapeutic decision making in up to 1/3rd to 1/4th of the cases and resulted in comparable treatment outcomes as standard treatment by AT. The present data suggest that DISE may provide individually tailored treatment of OSA in otherwise healthy infants and children.
