Total Sleep Time and BMI z-score Are Associated With Physical Function Mobility, Peer Relationship, and Pain Interference in Children Undergoing Routine Polysomnography: A PROMIS Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sleep disturbance, especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and inadequate sleep, adversely affect various health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) domains in adults. Few studies have addressed problems with HR-QoL in children with OSA or sleep-related symptoms.

Methods

Patients between ages 5 to 17 years who were referred to the sleep laboratory from June 2017 to August 2017 for overnight polysomnography were approached to participate in the study.

Results

A total of 86 patients were included in the final analysis; 45 patients (52.3%) were male; and the median (interquartile range) of their mean BMI z-scores was 1.7 (0.5, 2.4). The patients were categorized by OSA severity as follows: 27 (31.4%) mild OSA, 11 (12.8%) moderate OSA, 24 (27.9%) severe OSA, an
