Polysomnographic assessment of baseline SDB and its subsequent amelioration did not clearly predict either baseline neurobehavioral morbidity or improvement in any area other than sleepiness, suggesting the need for better measures or improved understanding of underlying causal mechanisms.

Systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of the reduction of the polysomnogram-measured Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI events/hour) resulting from adenotonsillectomy (T/A) and the overall success rate of T/A in normalizing PSG measurements found T/a is effective in the treatment of OSAHS.

Although the ESS score of children with S-SDB was within the normal range for adults, these children were sleepier and more hyperactive than control subjects, however, these data should be confirmed by a population-based study.
PLoS MedicineChildhood Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associates with Neuropsychological Deficits and Neuronal Brain Injury
331 Citations2006Ann C. Halbower, Mahaveer Degaonkar +6 more
Childhood OSA is associated with deficits of IQ and executive function and also with possible neuronal injury in the hippocampus and frontal cortex, suggesting that untreated childhood OSA could permanently alter a developing child's cognitive potential.

325 Citations2004Louise M. O’Brien, Carolyn Β. Mervis +6 more
Using a novel algorithm to assess sleep pressure, it was found that children with SDB were significantly sleepier than controls and total arousal index was negatively correlated with neurocognitive abilities, suggesting a role for sleep fragmentation in pediatric SDB‐induced cognitive dysfunction.

Even in the absence of OSA, SDB symptoms are associated with poorer executive function and memory skills and lower general intelligence in 5-year-old children.

Following tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, at-risk pre-schoolers recruited directly from the community showed normalised sleep and respiratory patterns and improved cognitive scores, underscore the potential value of outreach screening programmes for sleep-disordered breathing, particularly among low-income groups of pre- school age.

The deficits in selective measures of academic abilities, language comprehension, and planning and organizational skills suggest a negative impact of SDB on achievement and cognition, and stronger associations in preterm children suggest the importance of screening for snoring.

Obstructive apnea occurred predominantly during sleep, when airway maintaining muscles are hypotonic, and usually in patients with anatomic upper airway abnormalities, which support the concept that the pharyngeal airway collapses when negative inspiratory pressure exceeds the force of airways maintaining muscles.
