本研究采用经验证的儿童睡眠问卷来评估癫痫儿童（n = 14）的睡眠障碍症状。结果与年龄匹配的已知阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停儿童（n = 14）进行了比较。受试者从癫痫门诊和儿童睡眠障碍门诊入组。我们假设癫痫儿童（1）报告的睡眠障碍症状与有记录的阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停儿童相似，（2）在父母和儿童行为症状测量中显示行为障碍。结果表明，超过50%的癫痫儿童有行为问题（n = 14）。两个受试者组之间在打鼾、白天过度嗜睡和睡眠不安方面没有差异。结果表明，癫痫儿童的神经行为问题可能部分归因于潜在的睡眠障碍。(C)2003年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
This study employed a validated pediatric sleep questionnaire to evaluate for sleep-disordered symptoms in children with epilepsy (n = 14). Results were compared with those for age-matched children (n = 14) with known obstructive sleep apnea. Subjects were enrolled from an outpatient epilepsy clinic and a pediatric sleep disorders clinic. We hypothesized that children with epilepsy would (1) report symptoms of sleep disturbance similar to those of children with documented obstructive sleep apnea, and (2) display behavioral disturbances on parent and child behavioral symptom measures. Results indicate that more than 50% of children with epilepsy had behavioral problems (n = 14). No differences in snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, and restless sleep were seen between the two subject groups. Results suggest that neurobehavioral problems in children with epilepsy may in part be attributed to an underlying sleep disturbance. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
