Article Synopsis
- Childhood asthma is linked to sleep-breathing disorders (SBD), but there is a lack of research specifically focusing on adolescents, prompting this study to investigate SBD frequency and risk factors in this age group.
- The study involved 98 adolescents with asthma and found that 25.5% were at high risk for SBD, with significant associations between high SBD risk and factors like increased body mass index (BMI), uncontrolled rhinitis, and asthma.
- Results indicate that higher BMI is a key predictor of SBD risk in this population, highlighting the need for targeted preventive strategies and interventions addressing modifiable factors related to asthma and SBD in adolescents.

Asthma control can be influenced by several factors, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The literature reports variable prevalence and magnitude of OSA impact on asthma outcomes. The aim of our study is to analyze the frequency of high-risk for OSA in asthma patients and its impact on disease severity and control.
