Accuracy of the sleep clinical record for the diagnosis of pediatric moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2022)Purpose: The sleep clinical record (SCR) has been used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children when access to polysomnography (PSG) is limited. Our aim was to determine the best SCR score that could ... -
Adiposity in relation to age as predictor of severity of sleep apnea in children with snoring
(2008)Correlation between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea has been documented in both adults and children. This investigation evaluated importance of body mass index (BMI) in relation to age as predictor of severity of ... -
Associations of Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Snoring With History of Wheezing in Childhood
(2010)Background: Reports in adults and children have correlated history of wheezing or asthma with the presence of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing but the mechanism of this epidemiologic association is unknown. The goal ... -
Correlation of Urinary Excretion of Sodium With Severity of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Children: A Preliminary Study
(2010)Background: Nocturnal urinary sodium excretion is related to blood pressure (BP) levels. Elevated BP and increased nocturnal natriuresis have been demonstrated in adults with sleep apnea. Although evidence indicates increased ... -
ERS statement on obstructive sleep disordered breathing in 1- to 23-month-old children
(2017)The present statement was produced by a European Respiratory Society Task Force to summarise the evidence and current practice on the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in children ... -
Hypoventilation disproportionate to OSAS severity in children with Prader-Willi syndrome
(2019)Objective To test the hypothesis that children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) have hypercapnia for higher proportion of total sleep time (TST) than non-syndromic children with ... -
Interactions of Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing With Recurrent Wheezing or Asthma and Their Effects on Sleep Quality
(2011)Snoring is the most characteristic symptom of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing ( SDB) and recurrent wheezing is the most common clinical manifestation of asthma. The purpose of the present review is to outline the ... -
Memory Foam Pillow as an Intervention in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Preliminary Randomized Study
(2022)Specific pillow use is a seldom studied or controlled factor in the setting of sleep disordered breathing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different pillows [own pillow (OP), memory foam pillow (MFP), ... -
Morning levels of C-reactive protein in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing
(2005)Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing is associated with cardiovascular disease in adults, and elevated C-reactive protein (CRIP) has been proposed as a link between the two disorders. We hypothesized that children with ... -
Morning levels of fibrinogen in children with sleep-disordered breathing
(2004)Elevated fibrinogen level is a predictor of cardiovascular disease in adults, and it is associated with sleep-disordered breathing. Levels of fibrinogen in adults are affected by other co-existing cardiovascular risk ... -
Nasal corticosteroids for children with snoring
(2004)Nasal corticosteroids improve polysomnography indices but not symptoms in children with mild to moderate sleep-disordered breathing. We hypothesized that administration of nasal corticosteroids for 4 weeks to snoring ... -
Obstructive sleep disordered breathing in 2- to 18-year-old children: Diagnosis and management
(2016)This document summarises the conclusions of a European Respiratory Society Task Force on the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in childhood and refers to children aged 2-18 years. ... -
Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing and fasting insulin levels in nonobese children
(2005)A positive correlation of severity of sleep-disordered breathing with morning fasting insulin levels, which is independent of obesity, was reported in adults and obese children. We hypothesized that both severity of ... -
Obstructive steep-disordered breathing and plasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in children
(2006)Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may be one of the pathophysiologic links in the association between obstructive steep apnea-hypopnea and cardiovascular disease. Morning serum VEGF levels are increased in children ... -
Overnight change in brain natriuretic peptide levels in children with sleep-disordered breathing
(2006)Study objectives: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing is accompanied by episodic increases in left ventricle afterload due to large negative swings in intrathoracic pressure and repetitive surges in arterial pressure. ... -
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome-related symptoms and their relation to airflow limitation in an elderly population receiving home care
(2014)Background: Both airflow limitation and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)-related symptoms are most prevalent in the elderly population. Previous studies revealed significant associations between OSAHS-related ... -
Reduced language abilities in adolescents who snore
(2007)Polysomnographic assessment of 20 adolescents who were referred to hospital for loud and frequent snoring showed they suffered from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Their apneas and desaturation rates (SaO2) were ... -
Serum leukotriene B4 levels, tonsillar hypertrophy and sleep-disordered breathing in childhood
(2018)Objectives: In children with snoring, increased production of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) may promote tonsillar hypertrophy and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) or conversely SDB may enhance LTB4 synthesis. We explored whether: ...
