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 ...
Tonsillar Size in 2-to 14-Year-Old Children With and Without Snoring
(2009)
Background: Few investigations have assessed tonsillar size in children of variable age, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) status and degree of adiposity. This study evaluated the size of tonsils in young and older, lean ...
Omalizumab Therapy for Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis in Children with Cystic Fibrosis: A Synthesis of Published Evidence
(2014)
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) complicating cystic fibrosis (CF) is treated with corticosteroids. Since elevated IgE is a cardinal abnormality, anti-IgE has been used sporadically as adjuvant treatment. In ...
Parental History of Adenotonsillectomy Is Associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity in Children with Snoring
(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 ...
Association between primary nocturnal enuresis and habitual snoring in children
(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sleep-disordered breathing and blood pressure in children - A meta-analysis
(2007)
Objectives: To estimate the risk of elevated blood pressure (BP) in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and to explore heterogeneity among published studies. Data Source: PubMed database. Study ...
Spirometric values in Gypsy (Roma) children
(2008)
Values of spirometry indices vary among subjects of similar age, gender and somatometrics but of different ethnic origins. Low socioeconomic status in childhood is inversely related to lung growth. The aim of this investigation ...
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 ...
