Incidence and risk factors of pediatric post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

This meta-analysis quantified a pooled post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage incidence of 3% in the pediatric population and identified multiple perioperative factors associated with increased odds of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage.

The findings may guide the risk stratification of patients and inform tailored preventive strategies and perioperative optimization, ultimately enhancing surgical safety and improving postoperative outcomes.
