To highlight the contributions of Australian and New Zealand researchers to the identification of the consequences of paediatric sleep disordered breathing (SDB).
A search was conducted in PubMed using the terms "sleep disordered breathing" "child" and "Australia or New Zealand". All abstracts were reviewed and those which focused on the consequences of SDB have been included.
Australasian research into the consequences of SDB has grown exponentially over the last 35 years. SDB has significant adverse consequences for quality of life, behaviour, neurocognition and the cardiovascular system and the Australasian research studies investigating these are summarised.
Australian and New Zealand researchers have played a significant role in understanding the consequences of paediatric SDB and the mechanisms which underpin these. The research conducted "Downunder" has led the world in this field of research and will continue to provide evidence to improve the lives of children not only in Australasia but around the world.
强调澳大利亚和新西兰研究人员对小儿睡眠呼吸障碍（SDB）后果识别的贡献。
在PubMed中使用“睡眠呼吸障碍”“儿童”和“澳大利亚或新西兰”等术语进行搜索。对所有摘要进行了审查，并纳入了那些关注SDB后果的摘要。
在过去35年中，澳大拉西亚地区对SDB后果的研究呈指数级增长。SDB对生活质量、行为、神经认知和心血管系统有重大不良后果，本文总结了澳大拉西亚地区对此进行调查的研究。
澳大利亚和新西兰的研究人员在理解小儿SDB的后果及其潜在机制方面发挥了重要作用。在“南半球”进行的这项研究在该研究领域处于世界领先地位，并将继续提供证据，不仅改善澳大拉西亚地区，而且改善世界各地儿童的生活。
