Increased incidence of obstructive sleep apnea in hospitalized children after enterovirus infection: A nationwide population-based cohort study
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal Aug 18, 2018
Chen VCH, et al. - Using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database, researchers, for the first time, conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study in a pediatric population to determine the relationship between enterovirus (EV) infection and the incidence of sleep disorders. They found that children with severe EV infection, requiring hospitalization, carry a significantly higher risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), especially in those with allergic rhinitis. They recommend regular follow-up and early detection in children with EV infection, since pediatric obstructive sleep apnea is a treatable sleep disorder.
