Progress on the influence of seasonal and environmental factors on OSAHS in children / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) is one of the common diseases harmful to children′s health.OSAHS is a disease characterized by complete or partial obstruction of the upper respiratory tract, accompanied by blood gas changes and atypical sleep patterns.The incidence of OSAHS is on the rise.OSAHS can cause a series of physical, mental and developmental abnormalities in children, resulting in negative consequences for children.Common causes of OSAHS in children include mechanisms such as compliance changes caused by increased upper airway resistance and influence of neural regulation.Meanwhile, studies have shown that season、environmental factors have certain effects on the incidence and severity of OSAHS and sleep structure.This paper reviews the effects of season and environmental factors on children with OSAHS.
