Is There a Relationship Between Depression and Adenoid Volume in the Pediatric Population?

Methods: In total, 180 children were included and divided into two groups: 92 children with OSAS and 88 without OSAS. The adenoid size was assessed by calculating the adenoid nasopharynx ratio, which is the maximum adenoid size to a line drawn from the posterosuperior hard palate to the spheno-occipital synchondrosis. The Turkish version of the pediatric depression scale was used to evaluate depression symptoms. The results of two evaluations were statistically compared to assess any correlation.
