  1. Values are expressed as median (interquartile range [range]) or numbers and percentages. There were no significant differences in demographic characteristics between the groups (age: GA with surgery vs. GA without surgery p = 0.807, GA with surgery vs. CHS p = 0.597; GA without surgery vs. CHS p = 0.807). The procedures were significant shorter in children undergoing sedation (p < 0.01). GA general anesthesia; CHS chloral hydrate sedation
