Article Synopsis
  • OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) affects 2% to 4% of kids, and this study looked at how allergic rhinitis (AR), which is when you have stuffy or runny nose allergies, impacts OSA in children living in high-altitude Bogotá, Colombia.
  • The researchers studied 99 children, finding that more than half had OSA, and those with worse AR symptoms were more likely to have severe OSA.
  • The results showed that as AR got worse, the severity of OSA also increased, suggesting that treating allergies might help improve sleep problems in these kids.
