Night-to-night variability in respiratory parameters in children and adolescents examined for obstructive sleep apnea.

Introduction: The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is routinely based on just a single night's sleep examination. The night-to-night variability in children and adolescents has previously been investigated using type 4 sleep monitors or PSG. However, there is a lack of studies investigating the night-to-night variability when using type 3 sleep monitors.

Quality of life in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity: Impact of obstructive sleep apnea.

Objectives: To investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and health related quality of life (HRQOL) in children and adolescents referred to an obesity treatment clinic. In addition, we examined the association between body mass index standard deviation score (BMI SDS) and HRQOL comparing children and adolescents with overweight or obesity without OSA with a control group of children and adolescents with normal weight without OSA.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 130 children and adolescents with overweight or obesity (BMI SDS > 1.

Impact of weight-loss management on children and adolescents with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of weight-loss management on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children and adolescents with obesity. We hypothesized that a reduction in the degree of obesity was associated with a reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).

Methods: OSA (AHI ≥2) was investigated using a type 3 portable sleep device (Nox T3) in children and adolescents aged 7-18 years with overweight or obesity (body mass index standard deviation score (BMI SDS) > 1.

Obstructive sleep apnea in children and adolescents with and without obesity.

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children referred for obesity treatment, and to compare the prevalence with that of a normal-weight group. Moreover, we examined the association between Body Mass Index Standard Deviation Score (BMI SDS) and the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI).

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 139 children aged 7-18 years with overweight/obesity (BMI SDS >1.

Validation of the Danish STOP-Bang obstructive sleep apnoea questionnaire in a public sleep clinic.

INTRODUCTION: Obstructive sleep apnoea is common; a prevalence of 1-5% was previously reported. However, only few cases are diagnosed and receive treatment. The aim of this study was to validate the Danish translated version of the STOP-Bang screening tool for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in a public sleep clinic.

Obstructive sleep apnea in obese children and adolescents, treatment methods and outcome of treatment - A systematic review.

Objectives: To systematically review and discuss the outcome of treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in obese children and adolescents.

Methods: In February 2016 Pub Med was searched using a predetermined string to retrieve all relevant articles. The search identified 518 publications.

Effectiveness of propanolol for treatment of infantile haemangioma.

Introduction: Infantile haemangiomas (IH) are the most common benign tumours in children. They are characterised by rapid growth during the first year of life followed by spontaneous regression during childhood. Indications for treatment are functional impairment, bleeding/ulceration, rapid growth and severe aesthetic risk.
