    • Adenotonsillectomy Outcomes in Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children A Multicenter Retrospective Study 

      Bhattacharjee, R.; Kheirandish-Gozal, L.; Spruyt, K.; Mitchell, R. B.; Promchiarak, J.; Simakajornboon, N.; Kaditis, A. G.; Splaingard, D.; Splaingard, M.; Brooks, L. J.; Marcus, C. L.; Sin, S.; Arens, R.; Verhulst, S. L.; Gozal, D. (2010)
      Rationale: The overall efficacy of adenotonsillectomy (AT) in treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children is unknown. Although success rates are likely lower than previously estimated, factors that ...

    • Correlation of Urinary Excretion of Sodium With Severity of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Children: A Preliminary Study 

      Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Evangelopoulos, K.; Kostadima, E.; Varlami, V.; Boultadakis, E.; Liakos, N.; Zakynthinos, E.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (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 ...

    • Low-grade albuminuria in children with obstructive sleep apnea 

      Varlami, V.; Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Theologi, V.; Theophanous, E.; Liakos, N.; Daskalopoulou, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2013)
      Small urinary protein loss (low-grade albuminuria or microalbuminuria) may reflect altered permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier. In the present study, it was hypothesized that children with obstructive sleep ...

    • Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome promotes reversal albuminuria during sleep 

      Daskalopoulou, E. G.; Liavvas, C.; Nakas, C. T.; Vlachogiannis, E. G.; Bouros, D.; Dombros, N. V. (2011)
      Sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) may induce albuminuria during sleep which could reflect one of the possible pathogenetic mechanisms regarding cardiovascular risk. We studied 224 patients with newly diagnosed OSAS, free of any ...

    • Serum nitrite and nitrate levels in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing 

      Kaditis, A.; Alexopoulos, E.; Ntamagka, G.; Chaidas, K.; Karathanasi, A.; Gougoura, S.; Papathanasiou, A. A.; Liakos, P.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2010)
      Background: Diminished nitric oxide (NO) levels have been reported in adults with obstructive sleep apnea but no data are available for children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Objectives: To assess ...
