Paradise said his study is the first in the United States to use comparison groups of children with sore throats to test By Daniel Q. Haney Associated Press Writer BOSTON Tonsillectomies definitely help youngsters with severe, recurring sore throats, but many of these children will get better even if they don't have the common but controversial operation, a major study concludes. For youngsters with extreme tonsillitis, the operation is reasonable but not mandatory," said Dr. Jack L Paradise, who directed the research. Tonsillectomies are performed less frequently now than they were a generation ago. But they are still the leading operation among children in the United States, with doctors performing about 400,000 a year. - ar the surgery's effectiveness Because of the lack of study, there are no clear guidelines to determine when tonsillectomies are justified. Paradise said some doctors perform them on children who have occasional sore throats, while others virtually refuse to do them at all "This paper refutes the two extremes and comes down in the middle, Paradise said in an interview. The study was conducted at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh on 187 children who were severely affected aA it with recurrent throat infections It was published m Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine A child with an extreme history stands a much better chance of being free of difficulty if he has his tonsils out than if he doesn't," Paradise said But among the children who don't have their tonsils out will be a substantial fraction who get better on their own and don't continue to have episodes." Whether a child with lots of sore throats should have his tonsils removed depends on how important it is for the youngster to be free of these bouts, he said. Parents may want to consider the operation if a child is missing a lot of school and the sore throats are more trouble than they can cope with "If, on the other hand, you're afraid to death of anesthesia or you don't like the notion of somebody cutting on your child, then you're not subjecting your kid to great risk if you wait it out and see what happens," he said Other things to take into consideration, he said, are the availability of good medical care, the cost of the operation and the slim but real chance of disastrous complications of surgery. To be included in the study, a child had to have had at least seven episodes of throat infection during the previous year or at least three episodes a year for three years. Half of the children were assigned randomly to have either surgical or antibiotic treatment, and the rest were treated according to their parents' wishes. After one year, none of the surgical patients had had more than one moderate or severe sore throat, while 26 percent of those who kept their tonsils had more than one bout. In the third year of followup, only 5 percent of the patients had recurring sore throats. d of the But by this time, children had dropped out of this group and had their tonsils removed.
