Factors Associated With Blood Pressure in School-Age Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Findings suggest that BMI is a main driver of BP in school-aged children with OSA. Also, the percentage of TST with ETCO<sub>2</sub> ≥50 mmHg impacted BP in this sample and further research is needed to explore mechanisms behind these relationships. Clinicians and researchers should advocate for the assessment of all polysomnographic findings when assessing the risk for elevated BP and other comorbidities in children with OSA.
