    Description

    Periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are associated with sleep fragmentation and sympathetic nervous system activation, which in turn have been linked to cognitive and behavioral deficits in children and cardiovascular morbidity in both adults and children. Emerging evidence indicates that many children with sickle cell disease (SCD) have elevated PLMS. The specific aims of this prospective, repeated-measures,...

    Description

    This was a retrospective medical record review of 55 consecutive children aged 2-18 years with sickle cell disease (SCD) (hemoglobin [Hb] SS and Hb SC genotypes) undergoing polysomnography for evaluation of sleep disordered breathing. Polysomnography values were compared between SCD genotypes, 4 age groups, and adenotonsillectomy status using descriptive and nonparametric statistics. Medical record...

    Description

    Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) experience neurodevelopmental decline over time. They also tend to have short duration, poor quality sleep and elevated fatigue levels. This study measured sleep via actigraphy over one week and cognitive and behavioral measures in 19 children and adolescents with SCD. Aged 7-18 years, the majority of participants were referred for neurodevelopmental testing...
