IntroductionChildren with Down Syndrome (DS) are at high risk of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). We aimed to examine the burden of SDB in infants with DS referred to tertiary sleep center.MethodsInfants (≤12 months old) with DS who underwent consecutive polysomnography (PSG) at a single academic sleep center over a 6‐year period were included. obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (obstructive apnea hypopnea index [oAHI]>1/hr), central sleep apnea (central apnea index > 5/h) and the presence of hypoventilation (% time spent with CO2> 50 mmHg either by end‐tidal or transcutaneous> 25% of total sleep time) and hypoxemia (time spent with O2saturation <88% >5 min) were ascertained.ResultsA total of 40 infants were included (Mean age 6.6 months, male 66%). PSGs consisted of diagnostic (n= 13) and split night (n= 27, 68%) studies. All met criteria for OSA with mean oAHI 34.6/h (32.3). Central sleep apnea was present in 11 (27.5%) of infants. A total of 11 (27.5%) had hypoxemia. Hypoventilation was present in 10 (25%) infants.ConclusionThis study highlights the high prevalence of SDB in infants with DS referred to a sleep center, and supports early PSG assessment in this patient population.
