A panel of 4 clinicians with experience in pediatric pulmonology discuss current research findings and gaps in studies of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea, particularly regarding cardiovascular risk.
It is estimated that 1% to 5% of children in the United States have
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).1 Although the chronic cardiovascular (CV)
effects of OSA in adults are well-established, researchers have yet to
elucidate such effects in pediatric patients. To that end, a recent review
published in CHEST explored the available evidence pertaining to pathways that
influence CV risk in this population.
Pulmonology Advisor interviewed the following clinicians to learn more
about CV risk in children with OSA: Ricky Mohon, MD, FAAP, FACP, medical
director of sleep medicine and program director of pediatric pulmonology at the
Breathing Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora; Ilya Khaytin, MD,
PhD, attending physician in pulmonary and sleep medicine at Lurie Children’s
Hospital of Chicago and assistant professor of pediatric critical care at
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Illinois; Gigi Chawla,
MD, MHA, pediatrician, hospitalist, and chief of general pediatrics at
Children’s Minnesota in Minneapolis; and Christopher Stille, MD, MPH/MSPH,
pediatrician and chair of the Child Health Clinic at Children’s Hospital
Colorado in Aurora
