Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and sleep disordered breathing in pediatric populations: A meta-analysis

TL;DR: The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that ADHD symptoms are related to SDB and improve after adenotonsillectomy, and patients with ADHD symptomatology should receive SDB screening.

Sleep clinical record: an aid to rapid and accurate diagnosis of paediatric sleep disordered breathing

TL;DR: A simple, PSG-validated tool to screen SDB, thus reducing the use of PSG, and may effectively be used to screen patients as candidates for PSG study for suspected OSA syndrome, and to enable those with a mild form of SDB to receive early treatment.

The conundrum of primary snoring in children: what are we missing in regards to cognitive and behavioural morbidity?

TL;DR: Questions exist as to the sensitivity of standard assessment techniques to measure subtle hypoxia and arousal in children with PS, and a paradigm shift in the investigation of PS may be required.

The sleep phenotypes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: The role of arousal during sleep and implications for treatment

TL;DR: Treatment with stimulants is recommended above all in the primary form of ADHD, whereas treatment of the main sleep disorders or of co-morbidities is preferred in the other sleep phenotypes.

Obstructive sleep apnea and the prefrontal cortex: towards a comprehensive model linking nocturnal upper airway obstruction to daytime cognitive and behavioral deficits.

TL;DR: A causal model by which to understand psychological effects among OSA patients is outlined, proposing that sleep disruption and blood gas abnormalities prevent sleep‐related restorative processes, and further induce chemical and structural central nervous system cellular injury.

TL;DR: Preschool-age children with ADHD are at significant risk for behavioral, social, familial, and academic difficulties relative to their normal counterparts.
