Associations of snoring and asthma morbidity in the School Inner-City Asthma Study
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice Jun 09, 2021
Gunnlaugsson S, Abul MH, Wright L, et al. - Because inner-city children are disproportionately affected by asthma and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), but little is known about the relationship between SDB symptoms and asthma morbidity in this vulnerable population, researchers sought to investigate the link between snoring frequency (non-, rare-, sometimes-, habitual-snoring) and asthma morbidity. This investigation was part of The School Inner-City Asthma Study, a longitudinal prospective cohort study of children with persistent asthma who attended schools in the Northeast United States from 2008 to 2013. Findings revealed that there were 1,186 observations from 339 individuals. Snoring is common in inner-city school-age children with asthma and habitual snoring is linked to increased asthma symptom burden and healthcare utilization.
