Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sleep?disordered breathing (SDB), including snoring, sleep apnea and upper airway resistance syndrome are common problems in children. The pathophysiological mechanism of SDB in children is unclear but may include hypoxemia and changes in sleep architecture. Children with SDB show reduced neurocognitive function, and memory and attentional capacity. Furthermore, these children show increased problematic behaviour and reduced school performance_ Whether early recognition and treatment of SDB in children may improve neurocognitive function and school performance remains to be fuly evaluated in the future.
