ADHD children, 8 but question the choice of an AHI> 1 as the cut-off to define SDB because 22% of the control subjects also met this criterion. However, another study, published just after the current report was accepted for publication, prospectively confirmed DSM-IV-defined ADHD in 88 children aged 6–12 and found an AHI> 1 in 50 (57%), whereas among 27 controls only 1 subject (4%) reached the same threshold. 9 Among the ADHD children, 17 (19%) had an AHI> 5. In addition, 9 ADHD children but no controls had more than 5 periodic leg movements per hour of sleep. The authors conclude, in contrast to Sangal et al, that “ADHD based on DSM-IV [does] not differentiate between children with or without sleep disorders.” 9 Taken together, these 3 selected studies1, 8, 9 from a growing relevant literature may be telling us something quite important. Although their conclusions differ on the extent to which SDB-linked hyperactivity resembles DSM-IV-defined ADHD, they all suggest that mild SDB--even in the range reflected by an AHI between 1 and 5, and sometimes less–rather than more severe SDB may be particularly common in children with ADHD compared to controls. In part, this may be because milder SDB is likely to be much more common than more severe SDB. Another speculative explanation is that more severe SDB could cause enough daytime sleepiness or other health problems to mask hyperactivity in some cases. Perhaps intermittent hypoxemia, associated with more severe SDB but neither mild SDB nor unrelated sleep disorders, can change the observed behavioral phenotype. A link between mild SDB and hyperactivity might explain why polysomnographic measures of SDB severity do not correlate with the severity of the behavior, in the current study or in previous reports, 9-14 whereas reported snoring repeatedly demonstrates associations with hyperactive behavior and ADHD. 11, 15-17 Few clinicians doubt the merit of treatment for severe pediatric SDB or restless legs syndrome with periodic leg movements, but less consensus exists in numerous milder cases about what findings suggest risks to health, behavior, or quality of life. Additional controlled studies are clearly needed to examine polysomnographic methods and develop new ones that best predict outcomes and response to treatment. Long-term longitudinal studies also are critical in developing children, whose behavioral morbidity from current sleep problems may not appear until years later. 18 In the meantime, clinicians (and insurers) are probably well-advised to maintain skepticism about any simple, strict cut-offs. Precise polysomnographic criteria may be a necessity in research, but their subsequent application to an individual patient in a clinical setting may do more harm than good. The distributions of the AHI and the periodic leg movement index in the population are unlikely to form bi-modal curves. Good clinical sense must be used to combine many different clues beyond these indices to arrive at a diagnosis and recommendation that may have years of positive impact for a child and his or her family.
