背景阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（OSAS）影响高达4%的儿科人群，在中长期内有许多合并症。前额叶皮层（PFC）的功能改变可以解释为什么OSAS会影响执行功能，记忆，运动控制，注意力，视觉空间技能，学习和情绪调节等方面。情绪智力（EI）是一种复杂的神经心理功能，在许多临床条件下可能会受损。目的.本研究的目的是评估儿童OSAS和健康人（nOSAS）的情绪智力技能的差异。方法.将129名受OSAS影响的儿童（72名男性;平均年龄7.64 ± 1.98岁）与264名非OSAS（nOSAS）儿童（138名男性;平均年龄7.98 ± 2.13岁）进行比较，性别，年龄和社会经济地位相似。为了评估情商，使用Bar-On情商量表：青年版（EQ-1：YV）。结果OSAS儿童和nOSAS儿童EQ-i：YV评分的平均值和标准差的比较显示，人际关系、适应性和压力管理量表以及EQ总分存在显著差异。结论.我们的研究结果强调了间歇性缺氧在睡眠相关呼吸障碍影响发生中的作用，这也涉及与身体损伤不同的方面。
Background. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects up to 4% of a pediatric population, with many comorbidities in the medium-long term. Functional alterations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) may explain why OSAS impacts aspects such as executive functions, memory, motor control, attention, visual-spatial skills, learning, and mood regulation. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a complex neuropsychological function that could be impaired in many clinical conditions. Purpose. The aim of the study is to evaluate the difference in emotional intelligence skills among children with OSAS and healthy subjects (nOSAS). Methods. 129 children (72 males; mean age 7.64 +/- 1.98 years) affected by OSAS were compared to 264 non-OSAS (nOSAS) children (138 males; mean age 7.98 +/- 2.13) similar for gender, age, and socioeconomic status. In order to assess the emotional quotient, the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (EQ-i:YV) was used. Results. The comparison for means and standard deviation between OSAS children and nOSAS children for EQ-i:YV scores showed significant differences for Interpersonal, Adaptability, and Stress Management scales and EQ Total score. Conclusions. Our findings highlighted the role of intermittent hypoxia in the genesis of the effects of sleep-related respiratory disorders, which involves also aspects different from physical impairments.
