Sleep in Children With Cerebral Palsy A Review

TLDR
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.
Abstract
Children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, are considered to be a population at risk for the occurrence of sleep problems Moreover, recent studies on children with cerebral palsy seem to indicate that this population is at higher risk for sleep disorders The importance of the recognition and treatment of sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy cannot be overemphasized It is well known that the consequences of sleep disorders in children are broad and affect both the child and family This review article explores 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 In addition, a brief summary of current diagnostic and treatment modalities is provided Finally, the characteristics, diagnostic techniques, and management of sleep-related breathing disorders in children with cerebral palsy are discussed

Risk of Depression and Anxiety in Adults With Cerebral Palsy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to determine the risk of depression and anxiety in adults with cerebral palsy compared with an age-, sex-, and practice-matched reference group of adults without CP, using primary care data.

Sleep disorders in children with cerebral palsy: neurodevelopmental and behavioral correlates

TL;DR: The results confirm that sleep disorders are common in children with cerebral palsy and the relationship between motor and cognitive behavior and epilepsy should be further explored to better understand how these factors influence one another to identify effective treatments and to improve the well-being of the child.

Sleep-disordered breathing and school performance in children

TL;DR: SAGEA is frequently present in poorly performing first-grade students in whom it adversely affects learning performance and the data suggest that a subset of children with behavioral and learning disabilities could have SAGEA and may benefit from prospective medical evaluation and treatment.
