It is not possible to predict patients with severe apnea; thus, screening of children with Down syndrome beginning from young ages is very important. Central apneas could be a part of the spectrum of sleep abnormalities in Down syndrome.

Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). We investigated sleep spindle activity, as a marker of sleep quality, and its relationship with daytime functioning in children with DS compared to typically developing (TD) children. Methods Children with...
Diercks et al (2016) noted that OSA is more common in children with Down syndrome, affecting up to 60 % of patients, and may persist in up to 50 % of patients after adenotonsillectomy. These children with persistent moderate to severe OSA require CPAP, which is often poorly tolerated, or...
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) occurs in subjects of all ages, from the premature infant to through adulthood. Much remains unknown about the pathophysiology of the syndrome. However, research suggests that OSAS in all age groups is due to a com
A combination of parental questionnaires and inexpensive diagnostic procedures that can be performed as part of a primary care visit may be able to rule out the presence of obstructive sleep apnea in people with Down syndrome. If validated in a future study currently in progress, this assessment ...
