For individuals with Down syndrome (DS), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex disorder with significant clinical consequences. OSA is seen frequently in DS, and when present, it tends to be more severe. This increased prevalence is likely ...

Sleep apnea is a problem with breathing during sleep that can lead to decreased oxygen levels and frequent arousals (brief wake ups you typically don't remember). There are two main types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). OSA is the most common and occurs when the airway is physically blocked.

2024年8月26日 · Studies have shown that up to 50-80% of children with Down syndrome may experience some form of sleep-disordered breathing, with obstructive sleep apnea being the most common. This prevalence remains elevated throughout adulthood, with many individuals continuing to experience sleep apnea well into their later years.

The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common condition, affecting approximately 2% to 4% of adults. 1 It has significant neurological and cardiovascular complications. Down syndrome (DS; trisomy 21) is the most common known chromosomal cause of mental retardation.

Children with Down syndrome are at increased risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of the study was to describe the management of OSA in a large cohort of children with Down syndrome.

2018年4月15日 · INTRODUCTION. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent among individuals with Down syndrome (DS) 1 and has been associated with a myriad of adverse neurocognitive, cardiovascular, and metabolic sequelae. 2 –10 Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is considered first-line therapy for OSA in children, yet a majority of patients with DS have residual OSA following AT and therefore require ...

2025年2月5日 · Background: The population with Down syndrome (DS) makes up a significant portion of patients using short- and long-term noninvasive ventilation (NIV). However, limited data are available concerning the use and outcomes for patients with DS compared with other populations. ... Sleep Apnea, Obstructive / physiopathology Sleep Apnea, Obstructive ...

4 天之前 · Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs frequently in people with Down syndrome (DS) with reported prevalences ranging between 55% and 97%, compared to 1-4% in the neurotypical pediatric population.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a medical condition that causes breathing trouble during sleep. Children with weak muscles or low muscle tone, as in Down syndrome, are more likely to have OSA. Signs and symptoms of OSA. Loud snoring or noisy breathing during sleep; Being very sleepy or irritable during the day; Difficulty paying attention at ...

2014年1月29日 · Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is associated with some cognitive deficits in children with Down syndrome. Verbal IQ was 9 points lower in children with OSAS and Down syndrome, who also showed executive function deficits. These differences were found in children of similar age, BMI, and health status.
