Adiposity in relation to age as predictor of severity of sleep apnea in children with snoring

Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Hatzi, F.; Karadonta, I.; Chaidas, K.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Zintzaras, E.; Syrogiannopoulos, G. A. (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 ...

Sleep-disordered breathing in 3,680 Greek children

Kaditis, A. G.; Finder, J.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Starantzis, K.; Tanou, K.; Gampeta, S.; Agorogiannis, E.; Christodoulou, S.; Pantazidou, A.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2004)

The goal of the present investigation was to describe the prevalence of and clinical factors associated with sleep-disordered breathing in children and adolescents. Children and adolescents (3,680 in all, 1-18 years old) ...

Cysteinyl leukotriene receptors are expressed by tonsillar T cells of children with obstructive sleep apnea

Kaditis, A. G.; Ioannou, M. G.; Chaidas, K.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Apostolidou, M.; Apostolidis, T.; Koukoulis, G.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2008)

Background: Increased expression of cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 [LT1-R]; cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-2 [LT2-R]) has been detected in adenotonsillar tissue from children with ...

Effects of obstructive sleep apnea severity on serum lipid levels in Greek children with snoring

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Gletsou, E.; Kostadima, E.; Kaditis, D.; Zakynthinos, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. (2011)

Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is related to dyslipidemia in adults, limited data are available regarding its effects on serum lipids during childhood. Aim of this study was to assess the potential relationships ...

Nasal corticosteroids for children with snoring

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kaditis, A. G.; Kalampouka, E.; Kostadima, E.; Angelopoulos, N. V.; Mikraki, V.; Skenteris, N.; Gourgoulianis, K. (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 ...

Parental History of Adenotonsillectomy Is Associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity in Children with Snoring

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Charitos, G.; Malakasioti, G.; Varlami, V.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Zintzaras, E.; Kaditis, A. G. (2014)

Objective To test the hypothesis that history of adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy (AT) in at least 1 of the parents during childhood, is a risk factor for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (apnea-hypopnea ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, and Morning Plasma TNF-alpha Levels in Greek Children

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Theologi, V.; Malakasioti, G.; Maragozidis, P.; Tsilioni, I.; Chrousos, G.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2013)

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with increased frequency of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Increased plasma TNF-alpha levels may mediate this association in adults, but conflicting results ...

Nocturnal enuresis is associated with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in children with snoring

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Malakasioti, G.; Varlami, V.; Miligkos, M.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2014)

BACKGROUND: Conflicting data suggest that prevalence of monosymptomatic primary nocturnal enuresis (NE) increases with increasing severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in childhood and especially in girls. We hypothesized ...

Association between primary nocturnal enuresis and habitual snoring in children

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kostadima, E.; Pagonari, I.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2006)

Objectives. Nocturnal enuresis has been associated with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing mostly in hospital-referred adults and children. To investigate whether primary nocturnal enuresis is significantly associated ...

Resolution of nocturnal enuresis in snoring children after treatment with nasal budesonide

Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kaditis, A. G.; Kostadima, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2005)

Nocturnal enuresis has been associated with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea and may resolve after adenotonsillectomy. Nasal corticosteroids have improved symptoms and polysomnography findings in children with snoring. Two ...
