Abdominal Adiposity Correlates with Adenotonsillectomy Outcome in Obese Adolescents with Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

<table>Univariate linear regression model (Fat distribution). Graphs demonstrate the correlation between either waist circumference (a) or neck circumference (b) and the percentage of apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) change after adenotonsillectomy (AT) in obese adolescents.
