Oxygen desaturation index (ODI) was compared in preterm vs term with Poisson regression models. Subgroup analyses in preterm participants evaluated associations of neonatal risk factors with ODI.<h4>Results</h4>Ninety-six preterm and 44 term participants completed study procedures. Preterm participants more often reported snoring (25% vs 9%; <i>P</i> = .03) and eJournal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep MedicineSleep-disordered breathing in a multiethnic cohort of preterm adolescents and adults: assessment of neonatal and subsequent risk factors.PMC11874082R01 HL164853UL1 TR003163Sanchez-Solano NJBarton GPGoss KNLee MMartinez-Fernandez TfalseSleep-disordered breathing in a multiethnic cohort of preterm adolescents and adults: assessment of neonatal and subsequent risk factors.<h4>Study objectives</h4>Determine whether preterm-born adolescents and adults have sleep-disordered breathing, as documented by abnormal overnight oximetry.<h4>Methods</h4>This single-center cross-sectional study prospectively enrolled adolescents and adults born moderately to extremely preterm (≤ 32 weeks gestation or < 1,500-g birth weight) or full term to complete a study visit, STOP-Bang questionnaire, and overnight oximetry.
