Project description:In childhood frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE), cognitive impairment and educational underachievement are serious, well-known co-morbidities. The broad scale of affected cognitive domains suggests wide-spread network disturbances that not only involves, but also extends beyond the frontal lobe. In this study we have investigated whole brain connectional properties of children with FLE in relation to their cognitive impairment and compared them with healthy controls. Functional connectivity (FC) of the networks was derived from dynamic fluctuations of resting state fMRI and structural connectivity (SC) was obtained from fiber tractograms of diffusion weighted MRI. The whole brain network was characterized with graph theoretical metrics and decomposed into modules. Subsequently, the graph metrics and the connectivity within and between modules were related to cognitive performance. Functional network disturbances in FLE were related to increased clustering, increased path length, and stronger modularity compared to healthy controls, which was accompanied by stronger within- and weaker between-module functional connectivity. Although structural path length and clustering appeared normal in children with FLE, structural modularity increased with stronger cognitive impairment. It is concluded that decreased coupling between large-scale functional network modules is a hallmark for impaired cognition in childhood FLE.

Project description:Study objectivesObstructive sleep apnea is associated with neurobehavioral dysfunction, but the relationship between disease severity as measured by the apnea-hypopnea index and neurobehavioral morbidity is unclear. The objective of our study is to compare the neurobehavioral morbidity of mild sleep-disordered breathing versus obstructive sleep apnea.MethodsChildren 3-12 years old recruited for mild sleep-disordered breathing (snoring with obstructive apnea-hypopnea index < 3) into the Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Trial for Snoring were compared to children 5-9 years old recruited for obstructive sleep apnea (obstructive apnea-hypopnea 2-30) into the Childhood Adenotonsillectomy Trial. Baseline demographic, polysomnographic, and neurobehavioral outcomes were compared using univariable and multivariable analysis.ResultsThe sample included 453 participants with obstructive sleep apnea (median obstructive apnea-hypopnea index 5.7) and 459 participants with mild sleep-disordered breathing (median obstructive apnea-hypopnea index 0.5). By polysomnography, participants with obstructive sleep apnea had poorer sleep efficiency and more arousals. Children with mild sleep-disordered breathing had more abnormal executive function scores (adjusted odds ratio 1.96, 95% CI 1.30-2.94) compared to children with obstructive sleep apnea. There were also elevated Conners scores for inattention (adjusted odds ratio 3.16, CI 1.98-5.02) and hyperactivity (adjusted odds ratio 2.82, CI 1.83-4.34) in children recruited for mild sleep-disordered breathing.ConclusionsAbnormal executive function, inattention, and hyperactivity were more common in symptomatic children recruited into a trial for mild sleep-disordered breathing compared to children recruited into a trial for obstructive sleep apnea. Young, snoring children with only minimally elevated apnea-hypopnea levels may still be at risk for deficits in executive function and attention.Trial registrationPediatric Adenotonsillectomy for Snoring (PATS), NCT02562040; Childhood Adenotonsillectomy Trial (CHAT), NCT00560859.

Project description:BackgroundThis study examined associations of abdominal adiposity with lung function, asthma symptoms and current doctor-diagnosed asthma and mediation by insulin resistance (IR) and sleep disordered breathing (SDB).MethodsA random sample of 2500 households was drawn from the community of Whyalla, South Australia (The Whyalla Intergenerational Study of Health, WISH February 2008 - July 2009). Seven-hundred twenty-two randomly selected adults (?18?years) completed clinical protocols (32.2% response rate). Lung function was measured by spirometry. Post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC was used to measure airway obstruction and reversibility of FEV1 was calculated. Current asthma was defined by self-reported doctor-diagnosis and evidence of currently active asthma. Symptom scores for asthma (CASS) and SDB were calculated. Intra-abdominal fat (IAF) was estimated using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). IR was calculated from fasting glucose and insulin concentrations.ResultsThe prevalence of current doctor-diagnosed asthma was 19.9% (95% CI 16.7 - 23.5%). The ratio of observed to expected cases given the age and sex distribution of the population was 2.4 (95%CI 2.1, 2.9). IAF was not associated with current doctor-diagnosed asthma, FEV1/FVC or FEV1 reversibility in men or women but was positively associated with CASS independent of IR and SDB in women. A 1% increase in IAF was associated with decreases of 12?mL and 20?mL in FEV1 and FVC respectively in men, and 4?mL and 7?mL respectively in women. SDB mediated 12% and 26% of these associations respectively in men but had minimal effects in women.ConclusionsIn this population with an excess of doctor-diagnosed asthma, IAF was not a major factor in airway obstruction or doctor-diagnosed asthma, although women with higher IAF perceived more severe asthma symptoms which did not correlate with lower FEV1. Higher IAF was significantly associated with lower FEV1 and FVC and in men SDB mechanisms may contribute up to one quarter of this association.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Preterm birth (gestational age <37?weeks) has previously been associated with cardiometabolic and neuropsychiatric disorders into adulthood, but has seldom been examined in relation to sleep disorders. We conducted the first population-based study of preterm birth in relation to sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) from childhood into mid-adulthood. METHODS:A national cohort study was conducted of all 4 186 615 singleton live births in Sweden during 1973-2014, who were followed for SDB ascertained from nationwide inpatient and outpatient diagnoses through 2015 (maximum age 43?years). Cox regression was used to examine gestational age at birth in relation to SDB while adjusting for other perinatal and maternal factors, and co-sibling analyses assessed for potential confounding by unmeasured shared familial factors. RESULTS:There were 171 100 (4.1%) persons diagnosed with SDB in 86.0 million person-years of follow-up. Preterm birth was associated with increased risk of SDB from childhood into mid-adulthood, relative to full-term birth (39-41?weeks) [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), ages 0-43?years: 1.43; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.40, 1.46; P?<0.001; ages 30-43?years: 1.40; 95% CI, 1.34, 1.47; P?<0.001]. Persons born extremely preterm (<28?weeks) had more than 2-fold risks (aHR, ages 0-43?years: 2.63; 95% CI, 2.41, 2.87; P?<0.001; ages 30-43?years: 2.22; 95% CI, 1.64, 3.01; P?<0.001). These associations affected both males and females, but accounted for more SDB cases among males (additive interaction, P?=?0.003). Co-sibling analyses suggested that these findings were only partly due to shared genetic or environmental factors in families. CONCLUSIONS:Preterm-born children and adults need long-term follow-up for anticipatory screening and potential treatment of SDB.

Project description:Obesity has been recognized as a risk factor for childhood sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), yet it remains unclear how obesity and weight change predict the course of childhood SDB. The objective of the study is to investigate the role of body weight, upper airway abnormalities and developmental trajectories on the persistence and remission of childhood SDB in the transition to adolescence. The Penn State Child Cohort is a representative population sample of 700 children (5-12 years), of whom 421 were followed up as adolescents (12-23 years). Participants underwent a clinical history, physical examination and polysomnography at both time points. Obesity and enlarged tonsils were cross-sectionally associated with childhood SDB. Longitudinally, baseline obesity predicted the persistence of childhood SDB (OR = 3.75, 95% CI = 2.00-7.05), while weight loss predicted its remission (OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.11-2.50). Children with enlarged tonsils who remitted from SDB had not experienced significant weight loss and only 4.4% had undergone adeno/tonsillectomy. Body fat distribution/composition at follow-up was similar in those who had remitted from childhood SDB as compared with those who had never experienced SDB, while those who persisted with childhood SDB showed significant android distribution and visceral adiposity at follow-up. Our data support a causal role for obesity and weight loss in the chronicity and remission, respectively, of childhood SDB in the transition to adolescence and suggest that remission of SDB is related to developmental trajectories of the upper airway in a significant proportion of children. Thus, targeting childhood obesity and weight gain should be a priority in the prevention and treatment of SDB during this critical developmental period.

Project description:To examine the association between the age of onset and duration of parent-reported symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and behavioral problems at age 2. Parent-reported SDB symptoms were assessed quarterly between 3 months and 2 years among 583 Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development Edmonton-site participants. Parent-reported SDB symptoms were clustered into phenotypes using group-based trajectory analysis based on age of onset and duration of symptoms. Home-based polysomnography (PSG) was completed at 1 year. The Child Behavior Checklist preschool-version (Mean T-score 50, standard deviation 10 points) assessed total, externalizing (attention), and internalizing (anxiety, depression) behaviors at 2 years. Four phenotypes were identified: no SDB (64.7%), early-onset SDB (15.7%, peak symptoms at 9 months), late-onset (14.2%, peak symptoms at 18 months), and persistent SDB symptoms (5.3%, peak symptoms from 3 through 24 months). Persistent SDB (9.5 points, 95% CI 1.7, 17.2; p = .02) predicted the greatest magnitude of effect of total behavior problems, compared with children without SDB. Children with early-onset SDB (3.5 points, 95% CI 1.6, 5.4; p ≤ .001) and late-onset SDB (6.1 points 95% CI 4.0, 8.3; p ≤ .001) had increased total behavioral problems than children without SDB to 2 years. Additional analyses showed that the SDB phenotypes' trajectories were important for internalizing but not for externalizing behavior problems. There were no significant associations between home-PSG and parent-reported behavior problems. Findings suggest that the age of onset and duration of parent-reported SDB symptoms prior to age 2 have adverse consequences for overall behavior problems.

Project description:Background and objectivesSleep disordered breathing (SDB) has been related to amyloid deposition and an increased dementia risk. However, how SDB relates to medial temporal lobe neurodegeneration and subsequent episodic memory impairment is unclear. Our objective was to investigate the impact of amyloid positivity on the associations between SDB severity, medial temporal lobe subregions, and episodic memory performance in cognitively unimpaired older adults.MethodsData were acquired between 2016 and 2020 in the context of the Age-Well randomized controlled trial of the Medit-Aging European project. Participants older than 65 years who were free of neurologic, psychiatric, or chronic medical diseases were recruited from the community. They completed a neuropsychological evaluation, in-home polysomnography, a Florbetapir PET, and an MRI, including a specific high-resolution assessment of the medial temporal lobe and hippocampal subfields. Multiple linear regressions were conducted to test interactions between amyloid status and SDB severity on the volume of MTL subregions, controlling for age, sex, education, and the ApoE4 status. Secondary analyses aimed at investigating the links between SDB, MTL subregional atrophy, and episodic memory performance at baseline and at a mean follow-up of 20.66 months in the whole cohort and in subgroups stratified according to amyloid status.ResultsWe included 122 cognitively intact community-dwelling older adults (mean age ± SD: 69.40 ± 3.85 years, 77 women, 26 Aβ+ individuals) in baseline analyses and 111 at follow-up. The apnea-hypopnea index interacted with entorhinal (β = -0.81, p < 0.001, pη2 = 0.19), whole hippocampal (β = -0.61, p < 0.001, pη2 = 0.10), subiculum (β = -0.56, p = 0.002, pη2 = 0.08), CA1 (β = -0.55, p = 0.002, pη2 = 0.08), and DG (β = -0.53, p = 0.003, pη2 = 0.08) volumes such that a higher sleep apnea severity was related to lower MTL subregion volumes in amyloid-positive individuals, but not in those who were amyloid negative. In the whole cohort, lower whole hippocampal (r = 0.27, p = 0.005) and CA1 (r = 0.28, p = 0.003) volumes at baseline were associated with worse episodic memory performance at follow-up.DiscussionOverall, we showed that SDB was associated with MTL atrophy in cognitively asymptomatic older adults engaged in the Alzheimer continuum, which may increase the risk of developing memory impairment over time.Trial registration informationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02977819.

Project description:ObjectiveTo systematically investigate and validate the survey methodology for the epidemiological study of childhood sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in mainland China using the Mandarin version of the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire-Sleep-Related Breathing Disorder (PSQ-SRBD).DesignA cross-sectional study using randomised, stratified, multistage, cluster sampling method.SettingA total of 11 kindergartens, 7 primary schools and 8 middle schools from 7 districts of Beijing, China.ParticipantsA total of 9198 children with valid questionnaires (4736 boys and 4462 girls; age range 3.0-14.4 years) were included.Primary and secondary outcome measuresData on sociodemographic characteristics and PSQ-SRBD were collected. The score on PSQ-SRBD and the included factors were calculated with the effective data after data cleaning. Logistic regression and factor analysis with the principal components method were used to evaluate the validity of the questionnaire; reliability was assessed by retesting 5% of the respondents after 2±4 weeks of the initial test, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated.ResultsThe effective response rate of80.54% matched the sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents with respect to age group ratio and sex ratio in Beijing. With regard to construct validity of the PSQ-SRBD, the item score, except that of 'delayed growth', was highly correlated to the SRBD score as assessed by the logistic regression model. The exploratory factor analysis displayed a credible construct validity, with majority of the items grouped as the original dimensions. The test-retest reliability coefficient of each dimension's score ranged from 0.758 to 0.901, with an SRBD score of 0.730 indicating significant retest reliability.ConclusionsThis study conducted and validated a successful survey methodology for investigation of childhood SDB in Beijing, China. The questionnaire demonstrated credible construct validity and retest reliability, thereby supporting the applicability and generalisability of the PSQ-SRBD in a large epidemiological survey of childhood SDB in China.
