- The study aimed to analyze characteristics of healthy children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA-I) and those with OSA and non-syndromic obesity (OSA-II) in France who were treated with CPAP or NIV in 2019.
- Data from a national survey focused on CPAP/NIV initiation criteria, duration, age at initiation, equipment used, settings, and compliance were examined.
- Results showed that OSA-II patients were older at initiation and treated longer than OSA-I patients, with both groups mainly using CPAP, but having similar compliance rates.

- ChILD is a group of rare and severe lung diseases in children, with some cases linked to deficiencies in surfactant protein B (SP-B).
- The RespiRare network helps to gather detailed information about the characteristics and genetic backgrounds of these patients.
- A study involving 11 patients found that those with complete SP-B deficiency showed symptoms at birth and had a median survival of 1 month, while rarer cases with partial SP-B function might have a better chance of survival.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the prevalence and incidence of interstitial lung disease in children (chILD) in France, finding it affects 44 children per million in 2022 and has an incidence of 4.4 per million.
- The research included data from 790 patients across 42 centers, noting that the median age for diagnosis was 3 months, with a significant portion having familial forms.
- Management typically involved oxygen therapy and corticosteroids, with survival rates being 57.3% for children diagnosed before 2 years and 86% for those diagnosed between 2 and 18 years; the study highlights the need for improved international data collection and standardized practices.
Two studies examined how preschoolers (N = 610; French) explain differences in achievement. Replicating and extending previous research, the results revealed that children invoke more inherent factors (e.g.
