Children and nocturnal snoring: Evaluation of the effects of sleep related respiratory resistive load and daytime functioningPediatrics, 139
Obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome (OSAHS) is an important public health problem. However, major gaps exist in our knowledge about the clinical features of this disorder in the pediatric age group. The purpose of this study was to examine clinical features of OSAHS diagnosed by polysomnography in otherwise healthy children. In this cross‐sectional study, 326 children without underlying medical conditions (5.8 ± 3.0 years, range 1–12 years; 56% male) were recruited from patients referred by primary care and otorhinolaryngology physicians for evaluation of snoring and difficulty breathing. Ethnic group distribution was African‐American (38%), Caucasian (30%), and Hispanic (31%). Complaints of daytime tiredness or sleepiness were reported in 29% of the children. All children underwent overnight polysomnography (N = 330 studies).
