The study compared sleep disturbances and behavior problems in school-age children with and without juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Children 6-to-11 years of age, with (n=70) and without (n=46) JIA, and their parent participated. Parents completed questionnaires on sleep habits and behavior problems. Compared to control children, JIA children had significantly higher total sleep disturbances and higher scores on six of eight subscales. Sleep disturbances predicted externalizing behavior problems, controlling for age, medications, study group, and pain. Sleep disturbances such as, sleep disordered breathing are often overlooked or unrecognized in JIA and may contribute to behavioral problems.
该研究比较了患有和未患幼年特发性关节炎（JIA）的学龄儿童的睡眠障碍和行为问题。6至11岁患有JIA（n = 70）和未患JIA（n = 46）的儿童及其父母参与了研究。父母完成了关于睡眠习惯和行为问题的问卷调查。与对照组儿童相比，JIA儿童的总睡眠障碍明显更高，并且在八个子量表中的六个上得分更高。在控制了年龄、药物治疗、研究组和疼痛因素后，睡眠障碍可预测外化行为问题。诸如睡眠呼吸障碍等睡眠障碍在JIA中常常被忽视或未被认识到，可能会导致行为问题。
