Association between slow wave activity, cognition and behaviour in children with sleep disordered breathing

• Children originally diagnosed with SDB during early childhood continue to show reduced behavioural and cognitive performance compared to control children three years following complete resolution of disease• Irrespective of severity of original disease, improvements in Slow Wave Activity and the number of respiratory events have concomitant improvements in daytime functioning, although not to control levels• Irrespective of whether SDB completely resolves or not, children whose quantitative sleepiness improved over time have improved sustained attention and a reduction in externalising behaviours
