Sleep disordered breathing and neurobehavioral deficits in children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is broadly recognized to be associated with neurobehavioral deficits, which have significant impacts on developing-aged children and adolescents. Therefore, our study aimed to quantify the proportion of neurobehavioral impairments attributed to SDB in general children and adolescents by population attributable fraction (PAF).

Methods

The study was registered at PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023388143). We collected two types of literature on the prevalence of SDB and the risk of SDB-related neurobehavioral deficits from ten electronic databases and registers, respectively. The pooled effect sizes (P_e, P_c, RR) by random-effects meta-analysis were separately substituted into Levin's formula and Miettinen's formula to calcu
