Background: The nose plays an important role in sleep quality. Very little is known about sleep problems in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of CRS on sleep-disordered breathing. Methodology: CRS patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery were collected between July 2010 and May 2015. Before surgery, they filled 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test and Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaires, were asked about the severity of nasal obstruction, and received acoustic rhinometry, smell test, an endoscopic examination, sinus computed tomography, and a one-night polysomnography. Sleep quality was evaluated in these patients and was correlated with the severity of rhinosinusitis. Results: One hundred and thirty-nine CRS patients were enrolled in the study. Among them, 38.1% complained of daytime sleepiness, and this sleep problem was correlated with the symptom of nasal obstruction. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) was diagnosed in 64.7% of the patients, but there was no correlation with the severity of rhinosinusitis. Nasal polyps did not worsen sleep problems in the CRS patients. Conclusions: This study showed that CRS patents had a high prevalence of OSAS, and worse OSAS in CRS patients was not correlated with the severity of rhinosinusitis.

AbstractBackgroundAdequate sleep is important for proper neurodevelopment and positive health outcomes. Sleep disturbances are more prevalent in children with genetically determined neurodevelopmental syndromes compared to typically developing counterparts. We characterize sleep behavior in Rett (RTT), Angelman (AS) and Prader-Willi (PWS) syndromes in order to identify effective approaches for treating sleep problems in these populations. We compared sleep-related symptoms across individuals with these different syndromes to each other, and to typically developing controls.MethodsChildren were recruited from the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) consortium registries; unaffected siblings were enrolled as related controls. For each participant, a parent completed multiple sleep questionnaires including: Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (Sleep-Disordered Breathing [SDB]); Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire; Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale.ResultsSleep data were analyzed from 714 participants, ages 2-18 years. Young children with AS had more reported sleep problems than children with RTT or PWS. Older children with RTT had more reported daytime sleepiness than those with AS or PWS. Finally, all individuals with RTT had more evidence of sleep-disordered breathing when compared to individuals with PWS. Notably, typically developing siblings were also reported to have sleep problems, except for sleep-related breathing disturbances which were associated with each of the genetic syndromes.ConclusionsIndividuals with RTT, AS and PWS frequently experience sleep problems, including sleep-disordered breathing. Screening for sleep problems in individuals with these and other neurogenetic disorders should be included in clinical assessment and managements. These data may also be useful in developing treatment strategies and in clinical trials.

Background & Aims Poor sleep in young children imperils language learning and use. Both sleep and language problems are prevalent in early childhood. Speech-language pathologists are in a unique position to expand surveillance of sleep problems, which in turn may contribute to communication difficulties. We conducted a feasibility study of speech-language pathologist screening for behavioral sleep problems and sleep-disordered breathing symptoms at a multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment center. Methods Speech-language pathologists administered screeners to parents of 2–6-year-olds: the Short Form-Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (for behavioral sleep problems) which includes an item asking if the child has a sleep problem (yes/no), and the pediatric sleep questionnaire (for sleep-disordered breathing). Speech-language pathologists participated in pre- and post-screening focus groups. Pre-screening topics included professional preparation and clinical experience regarding pediatric sleep issues. Post-screening, speech-language pathologists provided feedback about the screening experience and feasibility of incorporating such screening into practice. Results Among 51 children, 31% (16/51) screened positive for sleep-disordered breathing, 78% for behavioral sleep problems (40/51), and 43% (12/28) per parent report. Parent-reported problems were associated with sleep-disordered breathing ( p = 0.00) but not behavioral sleep problems ( p = 0.24). During focus groups, speech-language pathologists reported no formal pediatric sleep training, high parent concern about sleep, and agreed that screening fit their professional mandate. Speech-language pathologists affirmed that the ≤15 min screenings integrated seamlessly into practice but that additional training, particularly for sleep-disordered breathing, was needed. Conclusions The prevalence of sleep problems in 2–6-year-olds presenting to speech-language pathologists was higher than in community samples, but consistent with data from young children with developmental disabilities. Speech-language pathologists endorsed the utility and feasibility of sleep problem screening and education in their clinical practice. Implications Integrating sleep problem screening and education into speech-language pathologist practice is feasible and could widen surveillance of both sleep problems and risk factors for developmental language disorders. Further research should include larger samples and other settings, e.g. home or school.

Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is among the most common pediatric surgical procedures and is performed as often for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as for recurrent tonsillitis. This study compared behavioral, cognitive, and sleep measures in 27 healthy control children recruited from a university hospital-based pediatric general surgery clinic with 40 children who had OSA (AT/OSA+) and 27 children who did not have OSA (AT/OSA−) scheduled for AT. Parental ratings of behavior, sleep problems, and snoring, along with specific cognitive measures (i.e., short-term attention, visuospatial problem solving, memory, arithmetic) reflected greater difficulties for AT children compared with controls. Differences between the AT/OSA− and control groups were larger and more consistent across test measures than were those between the AT/OSA+ and control groups. The fact that worse outcomes were not clearly demonstrated for the AT/OSA+ group compared with the other groups was not expected based on existing literature. This counterintuitive finding may reflect a combination of factors, including age, daytime sleepiness, features of sleep-disordered breathing too subtle to show on standard polysomnography, and academic or environmental factors not collected in this study. These results underscore the importance of applying more sophisticated methodologies to better understand the salient pathophysiology of childhood sleep-disordered breathing.

Objective Chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the most common etiologic reason for upper airway obstruction in childhood and has been found to be associated with a variety of psychiatric disorders and poor quality of life. In the present study, we investigated the impact of adenotonsillectomy on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms, sleep problems, and quality of life in children with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Methods The parents of children with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy filled out the Conners’s Parent Rating Scale-Revised Short form (CPRS-RS), Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, Parent version (PedsQL-P) before and six months after adenotonsillectomy. Results A total of 64 children were included in the study (mean age = 6.8 ± 2.4 years; boy:girl ratio= 1). The mean attention deficit hyperactivity disorder index and oppositionality subdomain scores of the CPRS-RS and all of the CSHQ subdomain scores (bedtime resistance, sleep-onset delay, sleep anxiety, night waking, parasomnias, sleep-disordered breathing, and daytime sleepiness) except for sleep duration significantly decreased after adenotonsillectomy ( p < 0.05). The PedsQL-P total score and both PedsQL-P physical health and psychosocial health subdomain scores were significantly higher at six months after adenotonsillectomy ( p < 0.001). Conclusions Child and adolescent psychiatrists should check the symptoms of chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy to identify children with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy who suffer from sleep disturbance, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms, and oppositionality. Adenotonsillectomy seems to be beneficial for coexisting attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and sleep disorder symptoms and quality of life in these children.

Abstract Introduction Liquid consumption is essential for daily function and may also play a role in sleep regulation. The aim of this study was to assess 1) the association between the frequency of liquid consumption and sleep patterns; and 2) the different types of liquids on the association between liquid consumption and sleep. Methods Participants included 597 children ages 9-13 years old from the China Jintan Child Cohort Study. To assess child liquid intake, children self-reported the types of liquids consumed and the frequency these liquids were consumed. To assess sleep patterns, both parents and children reported sleep patterns using the parent-reported Child Sleep Habit Questionnaire (CSHQ) and a child self-reported questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and independent sample t-tests analyses were performed to examine the differential effects of liquid consumption frequency and sleeping habits. Results Overall, a slight dose-dependent relationship between liquid consumption and sleep quality was observed. Less sleep problems and improved sleep quality were observed for water (bedtime resistance, sleep anxiety, night awakenings, parasomnias, sleep-disordered breathing, daytime sleepiness; p&lt;0.05) and milk (parasomnias, sleep-disordered breathing, p&lt;0.05) consumption. Caffeinated soda tended to increase sleep problems (sleep-disordered breathing, p&lt;0.05). Sleep onset delay had a different pattern from that of other subscales, in which water increased sleep problems and caffeinated soda decreased sleep problems. There was some discrepancy between parent- and self-reported parasomnias, but sleep disordered breathing showed consistent patterns. Conclusion Children who consumed more liquid, especially water and milk, were more likely to experience less sleep problems. However, caffeinated soda consumption may be linked to increased sleep problems. Findings suggest that school children may need consume more healthy liquids for better sleep patterns. Future randomized-controlled trial studies are needed to verify these findings.
