Nighttime sleep duration and variability in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: Sociodemographic disparities and neurobehavioral outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study examined differences in sleep patterns by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES) among children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), and linkages between sleep patterns and neurobehavioral functioning.

Method

We used baseline data from the Childhood Adenotonsillectomy Study (CHAT), a multicenter, single-blind, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of early adenotonsillectomy versus watchful waiting with supportive care for children with OSAS. Participants included children with OSAS (ages 5.0-9.9 years). SES indicators were obtained via questionnaire and geocoding (ArcGIS version 10.1). Caregivers and teachers reported on child inattention/impulsivity and executive functioning. Nighttime sleep duration and varia
