Pathological Endotypic Traits of Paediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Age and Sex Differences
In addition to upper airway collapsibility, inadequate compensatory activity of the dilator muscles significantly contributed to higher AHI in paediatric patients with OSA. The age-related decrease in upper airway patency may result from the interplay between upper airway and craniofacial development.
