Abstract
Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the variations in sleep architecture and types of sleep disturbances in preschool and school-age children diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods
Children who underwent polysomnography (PSG) were enrolled and divided into two groups based on age: a preschool group and a school-age group. We analyzed differences in sleep architecture and types of sleep disturbances between these groups.
Results
Total sleep time was significantly higher in the preschool group compared to the school-age group (P < 0.05). The percentage of Stage N1 sleep (N1%) was also higher in the preschool group (p < 0.05). Conversely, the percentage of Stage N2 sleep (N2%) was lower in the preschool group (p < 0.05). Additionally, the average and minimum heart rates were higher in the preschool group, while the minimum oxygen saturation, including during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and REM stages, was lower compared to the school-age group (P < 0.05). The prevalence of positional OSA (P-OSA) was lower, and the prevalence of REM OSA (R-OSA) was higher in the preschool group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
The prevalence of P-OSA was lower, and R-OSA was higher in preschool children compared to school-age children. Furthermore, the types of sleep disturbances in preschool children with OSA showed significant differences from those in school-age children with OSA.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology is to concentrate and disseminate information concerning prevention, cure and care of otorhinolaryngological disorders in infants and children due to developmental, degenerative, infectious, neoplastic, traumatic, social, psychiatric and economic causes. The Journal provides a medium for clinical and basic contributions in all of the areas of pediatric otorhinolaryngology. This includes medical and surgical otology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, diseases of the head and neck, and disorders of communication, including voice, speech and language disorders.
