Van Eyck A, et al. - The clinical factors that predict residual sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) after weight loss in obese individuals between 10 and 19 years of age were determined. In 80% of the candidates, weight loss was shown to be successful in treating SDB. A correlation between more severe SDB and the presence of respiratory allergies at baseline with a higher risk of residual SDB after weight loss was shown.
