Abstract:
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to describe the profile of patients attending an exclusive paediatric sleep clinic in India. Materials and Methods: Children aged 1 month–18 years, attending an exclusive paediatric sleep clinic, were assessed using standardized questionnaires. Children underwent sleep coaching, were treated medically, or underwent polysomnography based on the decision of the paediatric pulmonologist. Level 1 polysomnography was conducted by trained personnel. Results: Of 186 children, 36.5% were for infant sleep issues, 24.7% suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 18.2% neuromuscular diseases with sleep problems, 15.6% genetic disorders with sleep problems, 4.3% parasomnias, and 0.5% abnormal movements during sleep. Of the 85 paediatric polysomnographies conducted, 9.4% were normal studies, 87% had OSA, 1.1% restless leg syndrome, and 2.3% were inadequate studies. Conclusion: Sleep disorders in children are not uncommon and paediatricians need to be aware and identify them early. More number of exclusive paediatric sleep clinics need to be established in India.

Abstract:
BackgroundSleep disordered breathing represents a spectrum of upper airway obstruction including snoring, increased respiratory effort and obstructive sleep apnoea. An increasing demand for paediatric preoperative sleep studies and postoperative high dependency unit (HDU) beds was having a significant impact on service delivery at this ear, nose and throat (ENT) unit.MethodsRetrospective and prospective review of all paediatric sleep study requests over a 30-month period in a single tertiary ENT department. Data were collected on indication for and result of sleep study, patient outcome, operative details and HDU bed occupancy. During the study period, a ‘Sleep Study’ proforma was introduced which incorporated the ‘I’m Sleepy Score’ (ISS) and ENT-UK national guidelines.ResultsRetrospective review included 198 sleep studies, of which 62% (n=118) showed no evidence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). There was little consistency in patients’ sleep study results and need for monitoring on HDU following adenotonsillectomy. Prospective review following intervention included 60 patients, of which 62% (n=37) showed evidence of OSA. The mean ISS in this cohort was 4.7. Only those with moderate-to-severe OSA or with relevant risk factors underwent overnight HDU observation. The number of sleep study requests fell by >50%; from 11 per month to 5 per month. The total HDU bed occupancy was reduced by 50% following intervention (from n=18 to n=9).ConclusionThe use of the ISS and incorporation of ENTUK’s recommendations has reduced the number of negative sleep studies being requested and has rationalised the number of paediatric HDU bed requests being made. This has helped provide a prudent elective paediatric ENT service in this unit with corresponding cost benefits.

AbstractObjective:To identify regional surgical referral patterns for adenotonsillectomy in children with obstructive sleep apnoea to our tertiary centre with paediatric intensive care unit facilities and to establish guidelines for elective paediatric intensive care unit referral and admission.Methods:Two methods were used. A questionnaire was sent to ENT consultants in five surrounding hospitals with no in-house paediatric intensive care facilities. The second was a prospective observational study undertaken in our tertiary centre for a sub-set of patients undergoing obstructive sleep apnoea adenotonsillectomy between January 2002 and February 2005. These children were considered high risk as judged clinically by an ENT surgeon. Most had obstructive sleep apnoea and a co-morbidity. Otherwise healthy children with simple obstructive sleep apnoea were excluded.Results:15 out of 20 consultants responded to the questionnaire. Four referred on the grounds of clinical history, five referred based on pulse oximetry, nine referred syndromal children and four did not refer electively. Of the 49 high risk patients operated on, only 12 required paediatric intensive care admission with no emergency paediatric intensive care admissions. No otherwise healthy children with uncomplicated obstructive sleep apnoea symptoms required paediatric intensive care admission during the study period.Conclusion:There was no regional consensus regarding paediatric intensive care unit referral for obstructive sleep apnoea adenotonsillectomy. Clinical judgement without complex sleep studies by those experienced in this area was sufficient to detect complicated cases of obstructive sleep apnoea with co-morbidity requiring paediatric intensive care.

Abstract:
AbstractIn paediatrics, clinical study data are limited, especially on herbal medicinal products. To address this gap, 2063 datasets from the paediatric population were evaluated in the PhytoVIS data base. By screening for paediatric data, information on indication, gender, treatment, co-medication and tolerability were evaluated. The majority of patients was treated because of common cold, fever, digestive complaints, skin diseases, sleep disturbances and anxiety. The perceived effect of the therapy was rated in 84% of the patients as very good or good without adverse events. The data shed light on a still neglected field of phyto-pharmacotherapy by giving information on the use of herbal medicines in an unselected cohort of paediatric patients. The results confirm the good clinical effects and safety of herbal medicinal products in this patient population and show that they are widely used in Germany.What is Known:• In Germany, about 85% of children receive one or more herbal medicinal products per year.• Despite international initiatives to promote clinical research in paediatrics, there are still many gaps of knowledge in the use of drugs in paediatrics.What is New:• The PhytoVIS project evaluated 2063 data sets from the paediatric population using herbal medicinal products.• The majority of patients was treated because of common cold, fever, digestive complaints, skin diseases, sleep disturbances and anxiety, and 84% of the patients rated the therapy as very good or good without adverse events.

Abstract:
Despite apparent similarities to adult sleep medicine, the disorders of paediatric sleep medicine have a distinct epidemiology and pathophysiology. During childhood, the physiology of sleep develops and matures, resulting in changing patterns of normal behaviours and of sleep disorders. Through a fictional case scenario, this article aims to convey the range and complexity of disorders that may be encountered and the various investigations and treatments available to the paediatric sleep physician.

Abstract:
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is common in children with a prevalence between 3 and 12% and ranges on a continuum from primary snoring (PS) to obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). SDB in children can result in cognitive and behavioural abnormalities (including hyperactivity and poor school performance), growth failure, and cardiopulmonary consequences such as pulmonary hypertension or cor pulmonale. Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for assessing SDB with airflow being one of the primary channels used to score respiratory events. The gold standard measurement of airflow, pneumotachography, is cumbersome and hence surrogate airflow measurements are routinely used. Thermally sensitive devices such as Thermistors (Th) and Thermocouples (Tc) have traditionally been used as a surrogate for airflow measurement with nasal pressure/transducer (NP) recordings more recently being incorporated into routine clinical PSG. Some work comparing NP to Th/Tc has been conducted in adults; however there have been few studies conducted in paediatric sleep medicine. Studies in both adults and children have shown the NP technique to be more sensitive than Th/Tc for detecting obstructive respiratory events. In some studies in children, the NP trace has also been shown to be uninterpretable for a greater proportion of total sleep time (TST) than the Th/Tc trace. There is still limited information available comparing NP alone, Th/Tc alone and both measurements in combination during routine clinical PSG across the whole night for assessment of obstructive and central events in children. The hypotheses of the current study were that: (1) the use of NP recordings would result in higher respiratory event indices than Th/Tc recordings alone, (2) that utilizing both techniques in combination would result in higher indices than either method in isolation across the full night, and (3) That there would be a greater percentage total sleep time (TST) with uninterpretable NP than uninterpretable Th/Tc recordings. Thus, the aim of the current study was to extend prior research in paediatric participants by evaluating the efficacy of NP recordings compared with Th/Tc recordings including both obstructive and central events based on full night PSG in children.

Abstract:
Narcolepsy is a lifelong neurological sleep disorder characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness and attacks of muscle weakness triggered by emotions (cataplexy). In 2010, alarms were raised about an increase in the incidence rate of narcolepsy diagnosis in children. Subsequent research has confirmed a causal link between the use of the Pandemrix H1N1 influenza vaccine and cases of narcolepsy in children. Despite the rise in cases, there is limited research investigating the clinical characterisation and functional impact of paediatric narcolepsy. To address this gap in the literature, a systematic review of cognitive function and psychosocial well-being in children with narcolepsy was conducted. The results suggested that children who develop narcolepsy are at significant risk of cognitive impairment in at least one domain and emotional problems including depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Based on the systematic review findings, a case-control study was designed to describe the relationships between sleep, physical activity, cognitive function and psychological well-being in children with narcolepsy. 23 children with narcolepsy (aged 8-15 years) and 23 gender, age, I.Q and socioeconomic status (SES) matched healthy controls underwent standardized neuropsychological assessment and home polysomnography (PSG) using a portable PSG system. The children also wore an actigraphy monitor for eight days to measure their daytime sleep and physical activity. 21 out of the 23 children with narcolepsy were treated with medication at the time of the study. Children with narcolepsy showed more sleep disturbance, spent more time asleep during the day and were less active when awake than controls. Children with narcolepsy reported more feelings of anger and more disruptive behaviour than controls. Children with narcolepsy also reported poorer health-related quality of life than controls. There were no significant differences found in cognitive performance between the two groups, suggesting that well-managed children with narcolepsy do not have significantly impaired cognitive function. Sleep efficiency positively correlated with physical activity and health-related quality of life in children with narcolepsy and controls. Physical activity positively correlated with health-related quality of life and negatively correlated with disruptive behaviour in children with narcolepsy and controls. These findings will inform the design of intervention studies that aim to optimise the clinical management of paediatric narcolepsy.

Abstract:
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a highly prevalent but an under-diagnosed disease especially in children. Childhood SDB is characterised by an increased work of breathing, restless night sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness and has been associated with neurocognitive impairment, behavioural disturbances and early cardiovascular changes that may predispose them to an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Thus there is an increasing need for the investigation and management of childhood SDB, so as to instigate early and appropriate treatment. Polysomnography (PSG) is the reference test for diagnosis of SDB and to measure the effectiveness of treatment. During PSG, a number of physiological signals including electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG) and respiration are recorded during an overnight sleep and then manually scored for sleep/wake stages, cardio-respiratory events, arousals, periodic limb movement etc. Indices commonly used to assess SDB severity are the obstructive apnea/hypopnea index (OAHI) and the respiratory disturbance index (RDI) and these reflect the average number of obstructive events and/or arousals per hour of sleep. Signal processing approaches have been developed to perform automated detection and quantification of cardio-respiratory events based on analysis of EEG, respiratory, ECG, oximetry and airflow signals acquired during overnight PSG. These methods automate the application of standard scoring criterion on corresponding signals and thus aim to overcome the limitations of manual PSG scoring. However, the diagnostic criterion in current clinical guidelines may under-estimate the severity of SDB when children exhibit partial obstructive hypoventilation-a pattern of SDB commonly seen in children, where even in the absence of frank apnea or arousal, there might be underlying manifestations indicating SDB pathology. Thus it is important to investigate sleep periods free of frank events, i.e. scored event free (SEF) periods in children suspected for SDB and compare them to healthy controls. This would shed light on altered physiological measures, if any, in children with SDB that are subtle yet persistent and prolonged. With this as a focus of this Thesis, signal processing methods were developed and applied on respiratory, EEG and ECG signals to investigate SEF periods of sleep in children. In the studies conducted thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA), respiratory timing and their variability, respiratory waveform regularity, respiratory cycle related EEG changes (RCREC) and heartbeat related evoked potentials (HEP) were the measures quantified and investigated within specific sleep stages in both study groups. To analyse the impact of SDB on breathing mechanics, respiratory timing and their variability were quantified. Inspiratory and expiratory timing were found to be significantly elevated in children with SDB. Secondly, to quantify the impact of SDB on the breathing movements, TAA was estimated using a novel Hilbert transform based approach and respiratory waveform regularity was measured using a wavelet based low-frequency estimation approach. Breathing waveform regularity and TAA were influenced by sleep stages. The level of asynchrony was found to be significantly elevated in children with SDB and also breaths immediately before apnea/hypopneas were associated with a high degree of variability in both TAA and respiratory timing. Further, to investigate the impact of SDB on breathing phase dependent EEG responses that might be indicative of subtle cortical arousals, RCREC were quantified using normalised EEG power changes and symbolic dynamics based EEG fluctuations. In children with SDB, the earlier approach revealed higher overall and frequency band specific RCREC during REM and the later showed altered respiratory phase-related reduction in EEG variability during the expiratory phase. Finally, to elucidate the impact of SDB on visceral cortical processing of intrinsic stimuli, HEP were quantified and analysed. Importantly, this study provides the first evidence for the existence of HEP during sleep in children. Sleep stage specific HEP were observed and the potentials were found to be attenuated in children with SDB compared to healthy controls. Importantly, associations between HEP and daytime behavioural scores were observed. Thus, this Thesis provides a summary of studies based on signal processing of pediatric sleep data that led to significant findings emphasising the impact of childhood SDB on cortical and respiratory measures and the effect of surgical intervention on normalising the parameters.<br>Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2014

Faculty of Health Sciences, WITS University, as partial fulfillment for the requirements of the degree of Master of Medicine in Dermatology Johannesburg 2017<br>Introduction: Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin condition affecting 5-20% of children under 11 years of age, characterised by intense pruritus, redness and discomfort. Research suggests that AD has been shown in quality of life assessments to be rated among the worst in term of its effect on sleep. There is no research on the effects of sleep loss on the natural history and time course of skin disorders either, especially in South Africa. Aims: The objectives of this study were: 1. to describe the various sleep disturbances associated with AD in children up to and including 12 years of age and 2. to compare the characteristics of children with sleep problems to those without sleep problems in AD Patients and Methods: This was a prospective observational / descriptive hospital based study conducted at the paediatric dermatology outpatient department at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH). Questionnaire technique was used consisting of the children’s sleep habits questionnaire (CSHQ), a useful parent-reported instrument validated to identify both behaviourally based and medically based sleep problems in 4-12 years old school age children. Results: The prevalence of sleep problems in paediatric patients with AD was found to be 61.3%. There was no significant difference between males and females. Snoring as well as apnoea and snorting were significantly different in the rhinitis versus non-rhinitis group. The overall sleep disturbance rate was significantly different in those with rhinitis versus those without. Conclusions: While Atopic Dermatitis is often regarded by health professionals as a minor problem, in this study, 61.3% of children with AD have disturbed sleep.<br>MT2017

Abstract:
One of the most common complaints of mothers at the paediatrician's is complaint about the night sleep disorder, especially in older infants and toddlers. Long-term insomnia of a child negatively affects well-being of parents and disrupts peaceful atmosphere of home. We often encounter sleep disorders in babies; mostly they are frequent nocturnal awakenings and difficulty falling asleep. Parents should be therefore informed about sleep issues already at neonatal units, as they are informed about breastfeeding. The target group of this research was mothers of infants and nurses working at neonatal units and in primary paediatric care. The aim of the study was to determine the level of awareness of paediatric nurses and parents about infant sleep and create educational material for nurses. The survey was carried out using a snow ball technique, in-depth interviews with mothers and a questionnaire with open questions for nurses. Collected data were then transcribed, coded, and processed using frame analysis by. Then, using the snow ball method, we gradually extended the sample to 7 mothers of unsleepy infants and 7 mothers of sleepy infants, i.e. to cases that were supposed to strongly manifest the problem. Also, paediatric nurses were selected intentionally according to their place of work at neonatal departments and in primary paediatric care. Parents receive information about infant sleep most often on the Internet, from specialized books and from their own mothers and friends; and they usually do not ask nurses for information on infant sleep. Parent only find out at home that there is a problem with their child's sleep. They tend to try various interventions to lull their baby to sleep. Research has shown that the most common source of knowledge for nurses is their personal experience with their own children. Nurses also use their rich experience gained during long years of practice. Furthermore, they educate themselves in this issue using specialized books, visiting seminars, and they also use the internet. Nurses' advice to mothers regarding infant insomnia is shown in two perspectives in our research. The first is the perspective of mothers and the second one is the perspective of nurses. Surprisingly, there are discrepancies, especially regarding the nurses in primary care. Interventions that were reported by nurses coincide with working techniques of lulling a baby to sleep. In contrast, some interventions which were described by mothers as advice from a nurse rather indicate ignorance or indifference of some nurses. The research showed that the quality of infant sleep may be to some extent influenced by the information given to parents already at neonatal unit by medical staff, because they are in the best position to provide such information. However, mothers often choose different sources. The research has shown that mothers usually instinctively select proper techniques to lull restless infants to sleep without consulting a paediatric nurse. These results have prompted the development of an educational leaflet for nurses which informs about proper practices and appropriate techniques to lull restless unsleepy infants to sleep.

Abstract:
Infants differ in their ability to achieve organised sleep-wake behaviour. Difficulties in this developmental process are associated with problems falling asleep at bedtime and repeated night awakenings where parental assistance is needed to return to sleep. Studies have shown that a number of maternal psychosocial factors have been linked to differences in infant sleep outcome. The primary aim of this study was to examine the relative contribution of maternal psychosocial factors including depression and anxiety symptoms, perceived past maternal parenting, maternal cognitions about infant sleep, maternal sleep history and the maternal settling strategy of active physical comforting to infant sleep outcome. A further aim was to explore the extent to which these variables affect infant sleep outcome through their link to maternal cognitions about infant sleep.
