TL;DR: In this study, 128 meta-analyses from Cochrane reviews, containing data on at least 1 adult and 1 pediatric randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a binary primary efficacy outcome, were reviewed and it was found that in all except 1 case, the 95% confidence intervals could not exclude a relative difference in treatment efficacy between adults and children of >20%.

TL;DR: Compared with the children without OSA, those with OSA were more likely to reside in disadvantaged neighborhoods, and the highest probability of having OSA was seen in children referred from the most disadvantaged census tracts and was due primarily to moderate/severe OSA.

TL;DR: Among children who are referred to a sleep laboratory, the OSA-18 does not accurately detect which children will have an abnormal MOS and cannot be used to exclude moderate-to-severe OSA.

TL;DR: The Nicotine Dependence in Teens (NDIT) study is a prospective cohort investigation of 1294 students recruited in 1999-2000 from all grade 7 classes in a convenience sample of 10 high schools in Montreal, Canada to study the natural course and determinants of cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence in novice smokers.

TL;DR: The types and possible risk factors associated with the development of sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy and the impact of this disorder on the child and family are explored.
