“…The detection of interrupted sleep patterns in 27.6% of children highlights the potential impact of OSA on the quality of sleep in this demographic. 16 The lower percentage (6.9%) of children observed to choke during sleep suggests that certain symptoms may manifest differently or be less pronounced in the pediatric population. Notably, a significant proportion of parents (34.5%) expressed a willingness to pursue orthodontic appliance treatment for their children, indicating a potential acceptance of alternative approaches to addressing sleep-related issues in this age group.…”

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) while investigating awareness and readiness for orthodontic treatment. The primary objectives were to understand the burden of OSA and explore the potential role of orthodontic interventions in managing this condition. The study employed a cross-sectional design, including a sample of 48 adults and 46 children from various geographical areas in Chennai. Craniofacial morphology assessments and validated questionnaires (Berlin Questionnaire for adults, Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire for children) were utilized for OSA risk assessment. Participants were screened for risk factors and symptoms, and their awareness of OSA and willingness to pursue orthodontic treatment were evaluated. Ethical guidelines were adhered to, and data were collected through standardized forms and electronic databases.Among the surveyed adults, 85.7% were identified as loud snorers, and significant proportions experienced daytime fatigue (53.6%) and choking during sleep (46.4%). Findings also revealed disrupted sleep patterns in 57.1% of adults, with 32.1% seeking medical consultation. Notably, 25% were aware of OSA, and none were familiar with orthodontic treatments. However, 53.6% expressed willingness to undergo orthodontic appliance treatment. In the pediatric population, 31% of children were loud snorers, and 34.5% experienced tiredness at school. While 17.2% of parents were familiar with OSA, only 3.3% knew about orthodontic treatments. Nevertheless, 34.5% expressed a willingness to pursue orthodontic appliance treatment for their children. The study reveals a significant prevalence of OSA symptoms in both adults and children. Despite a high prevalence of symptoms, awareness of OSA and knowledge about orthodontic treatment options are notably low. Overall, enhancing public understanding of OSA and its treatment options can pave the way for more diverse and effective interventions.

Background. The purpose of this study was to compare the urinary adrenaline (EPI), norepinephrine (NE), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and taurine levels between children with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and then analyze the predictive value of urinary neurotransmitters on cognitive impairment in these patients. Methods. Children aged 3–12 years were enrolled and underwent polysomnography (PSG) recording during the whole night. PedsQL and CBCL scales were used to evaluate the cognitive function of these children. Morning urine samples were collected and used to measure the abovementioned urinary neurotransmitter levels. Results. A total of 104 cases were recruited, including 30 primary snoring (PS) and 74 OSA cases. Compared with the PS group, the OSA group had a lower social function (Z=-2.506, P = 0.012), school function (T = 2.596,P = 0.011), and total PedsQL (T = 2.546, P = 0.012) scores; the OSA group also exhibited increased withdrawal (Z=-2.121, P = 0.034) and attention problem (Z=-2.176, P = 0.030) scores in the CBCL scale. A total of 39 cases were considered mild cognitive impairment(MIC) in the OSA group (PedsQL total score below 76.13), who had higher urinary EPI (F = 25.725, P < 0.001) and lower taurine (F = 9.515, P < 0.001) levels than both PS and OSA without MIC groups. Logistic regression results showed that the incidence of cognitive-behavioral impairment in OSA children with obesity was significantly higher than in OSA children who had a normal BMI (OR = 6.999, 95%CI: 1.302 ~ 37.617). High levels of urinary NE (OR = 1.023, 95%CI: 1.001–1.046) and low levels of taurine (OR = 0.985, 95%CI: 0.974–0.997) were significantly associated with cognitive-behavioral impairment in children with OSA, and their combination had a comparatively larger area under the curve (0.695), with a sensitivity of 64.1% and specificity of 68.6% (P = 0.004). Conclusions. Urinary taurine and EPI can contribute to the prediction of cognitive impairment in OSA children, and combining these two neurotransmitters may have relatively good sensitivity and specificity for the presence of cognitive impairment associated with OSA.
