To determine whether minimal snoring is benign in children.
22 rarely snoring children (mean age = 6.9 years, 11 females) and age- and sex-matched controls participated in an auditory oddball task wearing 128-electrode nets. Parents completed the Conners Parent Rating Scales-Revised Long (CPRS-R:L).
Snorers scored significantly higher on four CPRS-R:L subscales. Stepwise regression indicated that two ERP variables from a region of the ERP that peaked at 844 msec post-stimulus onset predicted CPRS-R:L Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Index scores.
Occasional snorers, according to parental report, do exhibit ADHD-like behaviors. Basic sensory processing is longer than in controls, suggesting that delayed frontal activation requires more effort in snorers.
确定儿童轻度打鼾是否无害。
22名很少打鼾的儿童(平均年龄 = 6.9岁,11名女性)以及年龄和性别匹配的对照组参与了一项听觉Oddball任务,他们佩戴着128电极网。家长完成了康纳斯父母评定量表修订版长式(CPRS-R:L)。
打鼾儿童在CPRS-R:L的四个分量表上得分显著更高。逐步回归分析表明,来自刺激开始后844毫秒达到峰值的ERP区域的两个ERP变量可预测CPRS-R:L注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)指数得分。
根据家长报告,偶尔打鼾的儿童确实表现出类似ADHD的行为。基本感觉处理时间比对照组更长,这表明打鼾儿童额叶激活延迟需要付出更多努力。
