We concluded that the Snoring, Trouble Breathing, Un-Refreshed questionnaire is a reliable preoperative SDB identification tool and that awareness of preexisting SDB in children presenting for surgery in ambulatory surgical centers aids in designing a patient-specific plan of care to reduce perioperative respiratory adverse events.
To this end, we constructed male female prevalence ratios of self-reported sexual behaviours, as indicators of SDB, and we used these indicators to compare SDB in our survey and in recent FTFI-based, nationally representative DHSs from Lesotho, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe [ 21- 23].
We wished to determine the independent contribution of craniofacial dimensions of the upper airway to sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in subjects who spanned the entire continuum of SDB.
We performed a systematic literature review, and where feasible, a metaanalysis, to evaluate whether women with SDB in pregnancy have a higher risk of specific adverse pregnancy outcomes compared with women without SDB.
There is no standard definition of SDB in children.
To evaluate the frequency of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients presenting with acute cardiovascular events.
We compared patients' and bed partners' reporting of symptoms associated with SDB in a clinical sample of snoring men.
This article describes the parental report of sleep symptoms associated with SDB in Hispanic and white children.
Clinicians frequently underestimate or do not assess sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children in ambulatory surgical centers.
Tonsillar hypertrophy is one of major contributing factors, and tonsillectomy has been shown to be beneficial in treating SDB in children with hypertrophic tonsils [12].
To describe sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in young boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and its relationship with pulmonary function tests (PFTs).
