Abstract
Childhood sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is strongly associated with a range of cognitive and behavioral disturbances, including some psychiatric diagnoses. Despite this, the majority of children with symptoms of SDB go unrecognized, even though simple screening could identify children in need of further evaluation. Definitive evidence showing that SDB causes cognitive and behavioral impairment has yet to emerge, although a randomized controlled trial evaluating neuropsychological and health outcomes of treatment for SDB in children is currently underway.Entities:
