Prevalence and Risk Factors of Sleep Disordered Breathing in School-Aged Children with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) affects 1-5% of children, causing neurocognitive impairment, behavioral problems, and cardiovascular complications. Children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) may have heightened SDB risk due to chronic lung disease, but prevalence and risk factors remain poorly characterized. This study describes SDB prevalence and evaluates associations with health factors (asthma, rhinitis, second-hand smoke exposure, overweight/obesity), neonatal history, and oropharyngeal crowding among school-age children (6-12 years) with BPD.Materials and Methods:Cross-sectional analyses were performed on children enrolled in the Indoor Air Quality and Respiratory Morbidity in School-Aged Children with BPD (AERO-BPD) study. Elevated SDB risk and sympto
