Objective: To compare the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) and a less time-consuming set of 6 hierarchically arranged questions (6Q) as they relate to the pre-test probability for sleep apnea in pediatric patients.
Methods: Parents of 116 subjects between the ages of 7 and 17 answered two sleep questionnaires (the PSQ and the 6Q) distributed in random order before the subjects had sleep studies. Correlation coefficients were used for apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) prediction, while the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated for sleep apnea classification prediction.
Results: The 6Q showed statistical significance, while the more commonly used PSQ did not, both in terms of correlating with AHI (rho = 0.294, = 0.001) and predicting moderate and severe sleep apnea (AUC = 0.650 and 0.788, respectively).
Conclusion: Although additional field validation is required, these pediatric sleep questionnaires are sensitive and easy-to-use screening tools that can greatly help in the screening for pediatric sleep apnea.

Objectives: Chronic pain is a leading cause of morbidity in children and adolescents globally but can be managed with a combination of traditional Western medicine and integrative medicine (IM) practices. This combination has improved various critical health outcomes, such as quality-of-life, sleep, pain, anxiety, and healthcare utilization. These IM practices include acupuncture, yoga, biofeedback, massage, mindfulness, or any combination of these modalities.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and genetic variants associated with Multiple mitochondrial dysfunction syndrome (MMDS) type 3 in two children.
Methods: Two children diagnosed with MMDS type 3 at Zhuhai Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in January 2021 were selected for this study. A retrospective analysis of their clinical data was carried out.
Background: Childhood sleep problems are common and impact physical and emotional health. Prior work suggests that prenatal maternal depression and anxiety associate with disturbed child sleep in infancy. The current study evaluated whether these same associations extend to children at 3 years of age, and if so, whether the timing of symptoms in pregnancy is relevant.
