“…Previous studies have found an association between the combination of OSA and obesity/overweight and poorer academic functioning using a variety of measures, including maths scores, but none have considered IQ as a covariate in the analysis. Many studies of younger children (non‐obese cohorts) have consistently shown a significant link between poorer school performance, including maths scores, and OSA . Some research suggests the underlying mechanism linking OSA to poorer academic achievement is hypoxia, but this remains uncertain, as other research links persistent snoring or OSA to poorer school performance independent of hypoxic status …”

“…Clinically, pediatric OSA always presents with loud and irregular snoring and sleep disorders, in contrast to adults, with a range of different symptoms including growth retardation, enuresis, and behavioral problems, such as attention deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD) disorders ( Krysta et al, 2017 ). Besides, noteworthy neurocognitive impairments also occur in pediatric OSA, involving learning, memory, executive function, visuospatial function, and psychomotor development ( Copes and Rosentswieg, 1972 ; Hamasaki et al, 2007 ; Krysta et al, 2017 ), which severely diminished academic performance, social adaptation, and even the quality of life in children. Nevertheless, compared with adults, the scholars have paid little attention to brain abnormalities of pediatric OSA before.…”

Altered Spontaneous Brain Activity Related to Neurologic and Sleep Dysfunction in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Childhood obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep-related breathing disorder in children, which leads to growth retardation, neurocognitive impairments, and serious complications. Considering the previous studies about brain structural abnormalities in OSA, in the present study, we aimed to explore the altered spontaneous brain activity among OSA patients, using amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), fractional ALFF (fALFF), and regional homogeneity (ReHo) methods based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thirty-one untreated OSA children and 33 age-and gender-matched healthy children (HC) were included in this study. Compared with controls, the OSA group showed significant lower ALFF in the right lingual gyrus, decreased fALFF in the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG), but increased fALFF in the left precuneus. Decreased ReHo was found in the left inferior frontal gyrus (orbital part) and left middle frontal gyrus. Notably, the mean fALFF value of left MFG was not only significantly related to multiple sleep parameters but also demonstrated the best performance in ROC curve analysis. These findings revealed OSA children were associated with dysfunctions in the default mode network, the frontal lobe, and the lingual gyrus, which may implicate the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms of intrinsic brain activity. The correlation between the altered spontaneous neuronal activity and the clinical index provides early useful diagnostic biomarkers for OSA children as well.

Introduction: Few studies have addressed long-term quality of life related to residual snoring after adenotonsillectomy. The aim of this study was to compare scores from the OSA-18 questionnaire between children with residual snoring and non-snoring children two or more years after adenotonsillectomy. Material and Methods: The sample comprised 25 children divided into two groups, a group of 14 snoring children, and a control group of 11 non-snoring children. The OSA-18 questionnaire was applied to the volunteers. In the control group, it was completed by the caregivers of the children, while in individuals with residual snoring it was completed by the caregivers of children in the presence of a doctor or dentist. A statistical comparison was made using a generalized linear model. Results: The snorer group had a higher total OSA-18 score, and a higher score in all five domains compared to the control group. Conclusion: Children with residual snoring two or more years after adenotonsillectomy may have a worse quality of life compared to the control group.
