To evaluate blood pressure (BP) variability in 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Case series study.
Children aged 4 to 16 years with clinical symptoms were recruited in a tertiary medical center. Overnight polysomnography and 24-hour recordings of ambulatory BP were performed for each child. The severity of OSA was classified as primary snoring (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] < 1), mild OSA (1 ≤ AHI < 5), moderate OSA (10 > AHI ≥ 5), and severe OSA (AHI ≥ 10). The standard deviation of mean BP was used as an indicator of BP variability.
A total of 550 children were included (mean age: 7.6 years; 70% were boys; 20% were obese). Compared with the children with primary snoring, children with severe OSA exhibited significantly higher nighttime systolic BP (108.0 vs. 100.5 mmHg, P < .001), nighttime diastolic BP (58.9 vs 55.6 mmHg, P = .002), nighttime mean arterial pressure (75.3 vs. 70.5 mmHg, P < .001), nighttime systolic BP load (40.5% vs. 25.0%, P < .001), nighttime diastolic BP load (25.3% vs. 12.9%, P < .001), and nighttime systolic BP variability (11.4 vs. 9.6, P = .001). Multiple linear regression analyses revealed an independent association between AHI and nighttime systolic BP variability (regression coefficient = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.06-0.56, P = .015) after adjustment for age, gender, adiposity, and hypertensive status.
OSA in children is associated with increased BP and BP variability.

评估阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)儿童 24 小时动态血压监测中的血压变异性。
病例系列研究。
在一家三级医疗中心招募了年龄在 4 至 16 岁之间有临床症状的儿童。对每个儿童进行整夜多导睡眠图和 24 小时动态血压记录。OSA 的严重程度分为单纯打鼾(呼吸暂停低通气指数[AHI]<1)、轻度 OSA(1≤AHI<5)、中度 OSA(10>AHI≥5)和重度 OSA(AHI≥10)。平均血压的标准差用作血压变异性的指标。
共纳入 550 名儿童(平均年龄:7.6 岁;70%为男孩;20%为肥胖)。与单纯打鼾的儿童相比,重度 OSA 儿童的夜间收缩压(108.0 与 100.5mmHg,P<0.001)、夜间舒张压(58.9 与 55.6mmHg,P=0.002)、夜间平均动脉压(75.3 与 70.5mmHg,P<0.001)、夜间收缩压负荷(40.5%与 25.0%,P<0.001)、夜间舒张压负荷(25.3%与 12.9%,P<0.001)和夜间收缩压变异性(11.4 与 9.6,P=0.001)均显著更高。多元线性回归分析显示,在校正年龄、性别、肥胖和高血压状态后,AHI 与夜间收缩压变异性呈独立相关(回归系数为 0.31,95%CI 为 0.06-0.56,P=0.015)。
儿童 OSA 与血压升高和血压变异性增加有关。
