Childhood sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea, is common but often missed. Early diagnosis and treatment of these sleep-related breathing disorders can prevent serious health issues like neurocognitive deficits.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Child Health

Background:

  • Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent in children.
  • Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a common form of SDB.
  • Complications include neurocognitive deficits, growth failure, and pulmonary hypertension.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significance of SDB in children.
  • To discuss the diagnostic challenges and new syndromes like upper airway resistance syndrome.
  • To emphasize the importance of polysomnography in evaluating SDB.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on pediatric sleep-disordered breathing.
  • Discussion of diagnostic tools, particularly polysomnography.
  • Description of emerging sleep-related respiratory syndromes.

Main Results:

  • SDB, including obstructive sleep apnea, is frequently undiagnosed in children.
  • Upper airway resistance syndrome is a newly described condition.
  • Polysomnography is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Despite being common, SDB in children is often unrecognized.
  • Advances in diagnosis and management can significantly reduce associated morbidity.
  • Timely intervention is key to improving outcomes for children with SDB.
