Impact of sleep disordered breathing on cardiovascular, behavioural and neurocognitive function in preschool children

对学龄儿童的研究表明，睡眠呼吸障碍（SDB）导致的正常睡眠模式中断对心血管系统和神经认知都有严重后果。迄今为止，对SDB在学龄前儿童中的影响的调查有限，尽管知道睡眠期间呼吸中断在这个年龄段最大，并且在这个时候发育不成熟的中枢神经系统最容易受到伤害。

Studies in school age children have shown that disruption to normal sleep patterns resulting from sleep disordered breathing (SDB) has severe consequences for both the cardiovascular system and neurocognition. To date there have been limited investigations of the effects of SDB in pre-school children despite the knowledge that disruptions to breathing during sleep are maximal at this age and the central nervous system which is immature and developing at this time, is most vulnerable to injury.
