TL;DR: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels are higher in children with OSA, and particularly in those who develop neurocognitive deficits, suggesting that the magnitude of the inflammatory responses elicited by OSA is a major determinant of increased risk for neuroc cognitive dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognition, sleep and respiration in at-risk children treated for obstructive sleep apnoea.
TL;DR: Following tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, at-risk pre-schoolers recruited directly from the community showed normalised sleep and respiratory patterns and improved cognitive scores, underscore the potential value of outreach screening programmes for sleep-disordered breathing, particularly among low-income groups of pre- school age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health-related quality of life and depressive symptoms in children with suspected sleep-disordered breathing.
TL;DR: Children with suspected SDB, regardless of the severity of apnea-hypopnea index or the presence of obesity, had more impairments in quality of life and depressive symptoms than did children who did not snore.

Sleep disturbances in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Louise M. O'Brien,Anna Ivanenko,Valerie McLaughlin Crabtree,Cheryl R. Holbrook,Jennifer L. Bruner,Carrie J Klaus,David Gozal +6 more
