Hypoventilation disproportionate to OSAS severity in children with Prader-Willi syndrome.
Archives of Disease in Childhood 2019 Februrary
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) have hypercapnia for higher proportion of total sleep time (TST) than non-syndromic children with similar obstructive apnoea-hypopnoea index (OAHI).
DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.
SETTING: Two tertiary care hospitals.
PATIENTS: Patients with PWS and non-syndromic children with snoring who underwent polygraphy and were of similar age, body mass index (BMI) z-score and OAHI.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The two groups were compared regarding %TST with transcutaneous CO2 (PtcCO2 ) >50 mm Hg. The interaction between PWS diagnosis and OSAS severity (OAHI <1 episode/h vs 1-5 episodes/h vs >5 episodes/h) regarding %TST with PtcCO2 >50 mm Hg was tested using multiple linear regression.
RESULTS: 48 children with PWS and 92 controls were included (median age 2.3 (range 0.2-14.1) years vs 2.2 (0.3-15.1) years; BMI z-score 0.7±1.9 vs 0.8±1.7; median OAHI 0.5 (0-29.5) episodes/h vs 0.5 (0-33.9) episodes/h; p>0.05). The two groups did not differ in %TST with PtcCO2 >50 mm Hg (median 0% (0-100%) vs 0% (0-81.3%), respectively; p>0.05). However, the interaction between PWS and OSAS severity with respect to duration of hypoventilation was significant (p<0.01); the estimated mean differences of %TST with PtcCO2 >50 mm Hg between children with PWS and controls for OAHI <1 episode/h, 1-5 episodes/h and >5 episodes/h were +0.2%, +1% and +33%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Increasing severity of upper airway obstruction during sleep in children with PWS is accompanied by disproportionately longer periods of hypoventilation when compared with non-syndromic children with similar frequency of obstructive events.
