Popis: Objective: There is a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in pediatric and adult Down Syndrome (DS) patients that is refractory to adenotonsillectomy and continuous positive airway pressure. Newer treatment modalities have emerged with improved outcomes. The objective is to provide an updated systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the clinical outcomes of OSA in pediatric and adult DS patients with hypoglossal nerve stimulation using Inspire, midline posterior glossectomy plus lingual tonsillectomy (MPG + LT), and combined genioglossus advancement plus radiofrequency (GGS + RF). Methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed and Google Scholar was performed followed by a meta-analysis. Studies with preoperative and post-operative Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) values were included with patients serving as their own control. Results: Across 5 studies, 56 patients were analyzed. The mean reduction in AHI was statistically significant before vs. after procedure ( P
