Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in children with interstitial lung disease (chILD), affecting sleep quality. Polysomnography and questionnaires are recommended for screening and detection in chILD patients.
Area Of Science
- Pediatric Pulmonology
- Sleep Medicine
Background
- Adult interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients often have poor sleep quality and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
- The impact of chILD on sleep quality and SDB prevalence is understudied.
Purpose Of The Study
- To assess sleep quality and SDB prevalence in children with ILD.
- To explore associations between SDB and clinical, functional, and radiological parameters in chILD.
Main Methods
- Prospective cross-sectional study of children diagnosed with ILD.
- Collected sleep questionnaire data and polysomnography (PSG) parameters.
- Compared SDB outcomes between patients with and without lung fibrosis.
Main Results
- 77% of 30 chILD patients had obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
- 80% reported impaired sleep quality, and 60% had an increased SDB risk via questionnaires.
- Reduced REM sleep occurred in 90% of patients; no significant association between pulmonary fibrosis and SDB was found.
Conclusions
- Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent in chILD, contrary to prior assumptions.
- Utilizing PSG and sleep questionnaires is crucial for improved screening and detection of SDB in chILD.
- Early identification and management of SDB can potentially improve sleep quality in children with ILD.

Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the absence of muscle paralysis that normally occurs during the REM phase of sleep. This absence allows individuals to physically act out their dreams, which are often vivid and disturbing. Common behaviors exhibited during episodes include kicking, punching, and yelling. These actions can be dangerous, potentially leading to injuries for the person with RBD or their bed partner.
RBD is significantly associated with...
Insufficient sleep refers to not getting the recommended amount of sleep for optimal functioning, even if it's just slightly less than needed. Sleep insufficiency may occur due to lifestyle choices, such as staying up late for social events or work, resulting in routinely getting less sleep than required. For example, consistently sleeping 6 hours when the body needs 7-9 hours can lead to cumulative effects on health and well-being.
Sleep deprivation is a more severe form of sleep loss...
Sleep progresses through distinct stages, each characterized by specific brain wave patterns and physiological responses ranging from wakefulness to stages of non-rapid eye movement, known as non-REM, to rapid eye movement, referred to as REM. Understanding these stages helps in recognizing how sleep supports various bodily and cognitive functions.
Before sleep begins, in wakefulness, the brain exhibits primarily beta waves, which are high in frequency and low in amplitude, indicating alertness...
Sleep, an essential biological state, involves significant reductions in physical activity, sensory awareness, and interaction with the environment. This complex physiological process is primarily regulated by specific brain regions, notably the hypothalamus and pons, which govern the sleep-wake cycle or circadian rhythm.
The circadian rhythm, a nearly 24-hour cycle, is deeply influenced by environmental light cues. Light exposure directly affects the hypothalamus, which in turn regulates...
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops intermittently during sleep, often leading to significant health issues. Each episode can last from 10 to 20 seconds or more and is frequently accompanied by a brief arousal from sleep. This disturbance, largely unnoticed by the individual, can lead to severe daytime fatigue. Commonly, individuals seek help after being informed by their partners about loud snoring and noticeable breathing pauses during sleep.
The condition is more prevalent among...
