INTRODUCTION
Our objective was to evaluate the prevalence of high-risk factors for sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in an orthodontic population of children. SDB is a spectrum of breathing disorders ranging from primary snoring to obstructive sleep apnea.
METHODS
The sample included 303 healthy children between the ages of 9 and 17. High risk of SDB was assessed using the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire, a validated instrument that consists of 22 questions, and high risk is defined as positive answers to 33% or more of the questions answered. Sixteen randomly selected patients repeated the questionnaire 1 month after the initial survey for reliability.
RESULTS
In this sample, high-risk status on the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire was not associated with sex, age, or race. The percentage of patients who were screened as high risk was 7.3% (95% confidence interval, 4.7%-10.6%).
CONCLUSIONS
The results of this study suggest that approximately 7% of adolescent orthodontic patients may be at a significant risk for some form of SDB.
简介
我们的目的是评估正畸儿童群体中睡眠呼吸紊乱（SDB）高危因素的流行率。SDB 是一种呼吸障碍谱，范围从单纯性打鼾到阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停。
方法
该样本包括 303 名年龄在 9 至 17 岁之间的健康儿童。使用小儿睡眠问卷（PSQ）评估 SDB 的高危风险，这是一种经过验证的工具，由 22 个问题组成，高危风险定义为对 33%或更多回答问题的肯定回答。16 名随机选择的患者在初始调查后 1 个月重复了该问卷以评估可靠性。
结果
在这个样本中，小儿睡眠问卷上的高危状态与性别、年龄或种族无关。被筛查为高危的患者百分比为 7.3%（95%置信区间，4.7%-10.6%）。
结论
这项研究的结果表明，大约 7%的青少年正畸患者可能存在某种形式的 SDB 的显著风险。
