Brief Summary: The purpose of this research is to study and improve the methods used to detect childhood breathing problems during sleep that can affect daytime behavior at home and school Early diagnosis of these sleep disorders may allow doctors to treat children at a time when the consequences can still be reversed
Detailed Description: BACKGROUND

Sleep-disordered breathing SDB affects at least 1 to 3 percent of children Associated morbidity can include inattentive and hyperactive behavior disruptive behavior disorders cognitive deficits and excessive daytime sleepiness Sleep specialists recommend that children undergo polysomnography to confirm SDB especially before undergoing treatment which often involves an adenotonsillectomy Unfortunately such testing is rarely performed either before or after surgery Available data suggest that a clinical diagnosis of SDB does not predict polysomnographic results reliably However the extent to which polysomnographic results predict morbidity and especially treatable morbidity is not well known The main goal of the proposed research therefore is to study and improve methods for identification of childhood SDB that carries reversible morbidity

DESIGN NARRATIVE

Researchers will examine the utility of polysomnography in a group of children scheduled to undergo adenotonsillectomy for clinical indications and a group of matched control subjects Initial evaluations before surgery in the first group will be compared to results of identical evaluations 6 months later in this controlled nonrandomized trial Outcomes will be provided by well-validated assessments of behavior psychiatric status cognition and sleepiness Explanatory variables will include standard clinical and polysomnographic information and data from two newer techniques The first nasal pressure monitoring shows increased sensitivity for events that characterize SDB but few results and no outcome data have been reported from use of this method in children The second is an innovative signal processing algorithm developed by the investigators to show that cortical electroencephalogram EEG activity changes in synchrony with non-apneic respiratory cycles in children with SDB Preliminary data suggest that the magnitude of respiratory cycle-related EEG changes RCREC varies with SDB severity diminishes after SDB treatment and improves prediction of neurobehavioral outcomes The specific aims of the proposed research are to show that 1 nasal pressure monitoring in comparison to standard measures of airflow improves prediction of neurobehavioral response to adenotonsillectomy 2 RCREC in comparison to standard visually-scored EEG-based arousals do likewise 3 polysomnographic SDB measures including nasal pressure monitoring and RCREC add useful information to that derived from office-based assessments and 4 polysomnography after adenotonsillectomy can identify clinically relevant residual SDB in some children
