Association of Allergic Symptoms in the First 2 Years of Life With Sleep Outcomes Among Chinese Toddlers.

ABSTRACT: Background: Previous studies have linked allergic symptoms to sleep in children, but the associations might be different when considering different types of allergic symptoms or sleep outcomes.
