Abstract.
As a result of the study performed, an integral criterion of the postoperative period course has been developed, which is the sum of negative factors: bleeding, suture line disruption, excessive scarring, рain according to visual-analogue scale on the 7th day>4 points, mucosal edema on the 7th day>1 point according to 3-point visual-analogue scale. The sum of the points for these factors is an integral criterion [S], characterizing the degree of an unfavourable course of the postoperative period. When the values of this criterion equal S>2, the course of the postoperative period should be considered as an unfavourable one. The presence of an integral dichotomous criterion will allow to develop a mathematical model for prognosticating the course of the postoperative period.
A group with the unfavourable course of the postoperative period has been identified in which the probability of the complications is significantly higher in comparison with the main group: suture line disruption – 6,5 times (85% vs. 13%), bleeding –14 times (69% vs. 5%), excessive and coarse scarring –31 times (62% vs. 2%) (p<0,001). The duration median of an inpatient treatment in the group with the unfavourable course of the postoperative period made up 12 bed-days (interquartile range 8-13) vs. 7,5 bed-days in the main group (interquartile range 7-8). The duration of the soft palate and tonsillar niches cleansing in the group with the unfavourable course was 15 days (interquartile range 13-17) compared to the favourable course group where it was 12 days (interquartile range 10-16) (p<0,001).
Key words: obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, postoperative period, integral criterion, poor prognosis.
