Polysomnographic diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea in children with cerebral palsy – a 10-year retrospective review
Children with cerebral palsy have a high frequency of OSA. A substantial subset of children demonstrated profound desaturations associated with severe OSA. Notably, children with the greatest functional impairment (GMFCS scores of IV/V) exhibited the highest frequency of severe OSA indicating a pressing need for providers to identify and treat OSA in these complex patients.
