Abstract | While obstructive sleep apnea among children with Down syndrome is very common, the pre-existing risk factors and its impact to neurodevelopment are not well known. The aims and objectives of this systematic review are to determine the prevalence of OSA among DS children and to identify the associated risk factors. 6 articles that met the inclusion criteria were retrieved after using PubMed and Google Scholar in literature searching. The prevalence of OSA has great variation among different countries but are relatively high, ranging from 57% to 79%. OSA was significant associated with obesity, age and tonsil size. It is also known to associate with behavioral problem in DS children and delay their neurodevelopment. Therefore, early treatment followed by appropriate modification in lifestyle and diet is crucial in managing OSA. |
