ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los hábitos de sueño y la prevalencia de las alteraciones del mismo han sido escasamente valoradas de manera global. El objetivo es conocer la opinión de la población pediátrica en el ámbito global de la Comunidad Valenciana sobre el sueño y sus dificultades y analizar su distribución por edad, sexo y procedencia geográfica. Material y métodos: Estudio epidemiológico observacional, descriptivo de prevalencia. Se utilizó el cuestionario Children Sleep Habits Questionnaire. La muestra se obtuvo proporcionalmente a la población de las tres provincias y en función del lugar de residencia: zona urbana/rural, costera/de interior. Se evalúan las respuestas a 1.507 encuestas. Resultados: Entre el 76,1% y el 91,2% de la muestra opina que tiene algún problema durmiendo con relación de dependencia con la edad. El 15% de la muestra carece de horario regular los días escolares, decidiendo el 19,7% de los de 9 a 11 años ellos mismos los horarios de manera habitual. El 53,9% de los de 12–15 años tienen pesadillas más de una vez por semana. Se levantan descansados solo una o ninguna vez a la semana el 37,4% (6–8 años), 25,3% (9–11 años) y 31,8% (12–15 años). Conclusiones: Los malos hábitos de sueño son prevalentes. Es necesario incrementar las medidas de educación transmitiendo la importancia de las horas de sueño. Los adolescentes forman un grupo especialmente sensible a los malos hábitos de sueño. Al valorar el sueño deben tenerse muy presentes los factores ambientales (lugar de residencia) (AU)


Introduction: The sleep habits and the prevalence of sleep problems have been poorly evaluated globally in Spain. The objective is to find out the opinions of the paediatric population in of an autonomous community as a whole (Comunidad Valenciana) on sleep and its difficulties, and to analyse their distribution by age, sex and geographical origin. Material and methods: An observational, descriptive epidemiological study of prevalence. The Children Sleep Habits Questionnaire was used. The sample was obtained proportionally to the population of the three provinces of the Community of Valencia and depending on the place of residence: urban and rural, coastal zone/Interior. We evaluated the responses of 1507 questionnaires. Results: Between 91.2% and 76.1% believed that they have problems sleeping with a relationship of dependency with age. Fifteen percent of the sample lack a regular sleep schedule during school days and 19.7% of the 9–11 years themselves decided their own sleep schedules during school days. A majority (53.9% of the 12–15 years had nightmares more than once per week and 37.4% (6–8 years), 25.3% (9–11 years) and 31.8% (12–15 years) never woke up tired or did so only once per week. Conclusions: Poor sleep habits are prevalent. It is necessary to increase the educational measures and explain the importance of sleep. Teenagers are a particularly sensitive to poor sleep habits group. Environmental factors (place of residence) should be taken into account when assessing sleep (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Los "problemas del sueño en la infancia" están condicionados por su intensidad, cronicidad, frecuencia y asociación a dificultades en la función diurna del niño y/o su familia. De entre los problemas del sueño, el insomnio presenta una alta prevalencia. Éste puede ser definido como la dificultad para iniciar o mantener el sueño que es vista como un problema por el niño o sus cuidadores. Desarrollo: En la actualidad, junto al desarrollo de una adecuada relación de apego, se le está dando mucho valor etiológico al concepto de “asincronización” conceptuada como una alteración de varios ritmos biológicos. Los datos preliminares de una encuesta poblacional en la Comunidad Valenciana evidencian que en niños de 5 a 12 años de manera global un 27 Conclusiones: Se trata de una entidad muy prevalerte con etiología multifactorial que exigirá un enfoque diagnóstico y terapéutico global (AU)


Objective: Children’s sleep problems are conditioned by its intensity, chronicity, frequency and association to difficulties in the daytime function of the child and/or their family. From sleep problems, insomnia presents one high prevalence. This can be defined as the difficulty to start or keep the sleep that is seen as a problem by children or their carers. Development: Currently, along side the development of a proper relationship of attachment, are you is giving much etiological value the concept of asincronización conceptuada as alteration in multiple biological rhythms. The preliminary data from a population survey in the Valencian Community evident that in children 5 to 12 years globally 27 Conclusions: This is of an entity very prevalent with multifactorial etiology which require an approach diagnostic and therapeutic global (AU)

ABSTRACT

Realizamos una revisión bibliográfica de las diferentes modalidades farmacológicas actuales en nuestro país del tratamiento del insomnio así como de las características más importantes de los fármacos más utilizados y las comparamos con las del hipnótico pediátrico ideal. Se exponen las recomendaciones y contraindicaciones del uso farmacológico y las medidas a tener en cuenta si se decide esta modalidad terapéutica. Se concluye que la indicación farmacológica es excepcional y transitoria y debe, en todo caso, acompañarse de medidas de higiene de sueño y terapia cognitivo conductual (AU)


We conducted a review bibliographic different current pharmacological patterns in our the treatment of insomnia and features more country important popular drugs and against with the of the hypnotic paediatric ideal. The recommendations are exposed and contra-indications of drug use and the measures to be taken into account if you decide this therapeutic modality. Conclusion: The pharmacological indication is exceptional and transitional and must, in any case, be accompanied by measures of sleep hygiene and cognitive – behavioural therapy (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN. Obesidad y las alteraciones del sueño son situaciones cada vez más frecuentes. Los objetivos de este estudio de casos y controles son comprobar si los niños obesos de nuestro medio tienen un mayor riesgo de presentar trastornos respiratorios durante el sueño, si existe correlación de la sospecha clínica con datos polisomnográficos y encontrar claves clínicas sencillas que permitan realizar un cribado de sospecha de estos problemas en asistencia primaria. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS. Se estudiaron 51 niños seleccionados de manera consecutiva según orden de asistencia a consulta y que presentaban un índice de masa corporal (IMC) superior al percentil 85 y se compararon con 39 niños no obesos con IMC percentil menor 85 reclutados de manera consecutiva, de semejante edad y distribución por sexos que acudían a controles de salud. Se valoró el tamaño amigdalar e istmo velofaringeo radiológicamente. En los que cumplían los criterios clínicos de alteración respiratoria durante el sueño se realizó polisomnografía ambulatoria. RESULTADOS. Los datos clínicos seleccionados muestran una alta especificidad (85.71;CI 95%: 59.78- 111.64) y un alto valor predictivo positivo (96.30;CI 95%: 89.18-103.42) con la presencia de trastornos respiratorios durante el sueño demostrados en la polisomnografía. La presencia de hipertrofia amigdalar junto con estrechamiento del velo faringeo tienen una alta especificad ante la presencia de trastornos respiratorios durante el sueño. CONCLUSIÓN. El tamaño amigdalar mayor o igual a 3 junto con la obstrucción de la vía aérea superior tiene un alto valor de sospecha clínica de padecer un SDB en preadolescentes obesos y puede ser utilizado como un cribado clínico sencillo y rápido (AU)


INTRODUCTION. Obesity and sleep problems are situations increasingly frequent. The aims are to verify if the children with overweight/obesity have a major risk of presenting sleep respiratory disorders, if there exists correlation of the clinical suspicion with polisomnographic information and to find key simple clinics that allow to fulfill the screening of suspicion of these problems in primary care. MATERIALAND METHODS. There were studied 51 children selected of a consecutive way according to order of assistance to consultation and that had an index of corporal mass bigger that 85 percentile and there compared with 39 children with index of corporal mass minor percentile 85 recruited ones of a consecutive way, of similar age and distribution for sexes that were coming to controls of health. The tonsil size was clinical valued and the pharyngeal isthmus by RX. In those who were fulfilling the clinical criteria of sleep respiratory disorders was realized an ambulatory polysomnography. RESULTS. The clinical selected information shows a high specificity (85.71;CI 95%: 59.78- 111.64) and a positive predictive value of 96.30 (CI 95%: 89.18-103.42) with the presence of sleep respiratory disorders in the polysomnography. The presence of hypertrophic tonsils (>3) together with tightening of the pharyngeal istmus they have a discharge specify (80.00;CI 95%: 44.94-115.06) and a positive predictive value of 95.65 (CI 95%: 87.31-103.99) for the presence of sleep respiratory disorders. CONCLUSIONS. The size tonsils bigger or equal to 3 together with the obstruction of the top airway has a high value of clinical suspicion to endure a sleep disorders breathing in preadolescents with overweight and can be used like sifted clinical simply and rapidly (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El incremento de la incidencia de la obesidad infantil es paralelo al de los problemas relacionados con el sueño. El objetivo de nuestro estudio era determinar si hay una mayor prevalencia de trastornos respiratorios durante el sueño en los niños obesos y si disponemos de datos clínicos sencillos que nos permitan sospechar su presencia. Material y métodos: Lacohorte la forman 26 niños con un índice de masa corporal (IMC), superior al percentil 90 (según las gráficas de Orbegozol)para su edad, con una edad media de 10,3 años (rango: 7-14), sin otro tipo de problemas médicos clínicamente detectables, que acuden a una visita de control de salud. El grupo control lo forman 30 niños de la misma edad con un IMC inferior al percentil 90. Se controló el sueño mediante actigrafía y se utilizaron escalas de sueño validadas. Se valoró el tamaño adenoamigdalar mediante radiografía. Resultados: En nuestro grupo de 26 niños con IMC superior al percentil 90 para su edad, los problemas respiratorios durante el sueño (PRS) entendidos como la presencia conjunta de ronquido habitual, una respiración nocturna bucal y una excesiva somnolencia diurna, se relacionan significativamente con el tamaño amigdalar y el IMC (odds ratio [OR]= 1,19; intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%; 1,06-1,29, p=0,001). Asimismo, el tamaño amigdalar mayor de 2 cm, como test de cribado para PRS en obesos, tuvo un valor pronóstico positivo del 82,4%, un valor pronóstico negativo del 78%, una sensibilidad del 37,6% y una especificidad del 95,9%. Conclusiones: La presencia de amigdalas hipertróficas tiene una mayor OR que la obesidad sola en la predicción de PRS en niños obesos. Sin embargo, ambas constituyen factores de riesgo predictivos e independientes de PRS. Por ello, la comprobación clínica sistemática de hipertrofia amigdalar, es una medida sencilla, rápida y crítica para prevenir la morbilidad asociada a estos problemas del sueño en el paciente obeso. La alta especificidad y la baja sensibilidad al usar el tamaño amigdalar comopredictor de PRS sugieren que los niños obesos con un evidente aumento del tamaño del tejido faríngeo tienen una alta probabilidad de padecer PRS


Introduction: The increase in the incidence of childhood obesity parallels the increase in sep disorders. The aim of our case-control study was to determine whether sleeo-disordered breathing (SDB is more prevalent in obese children and whether there are simple clinical signs that lead us to suspect its presence. Material and methods: The cohort consisted of 26 children with a body mass index (BMI)above the 90th percentile for their age (according to the Orbegozo tables). With a mean age of 10.3 years (range: 7-14 years, but no other clinically detectable medical problems, who came for a routine physical examination. The control group consisted of 30 children of the same age with a BMI below the 90th percentile. Sleep was monitores by actigraphy and validated sleep scales were employed. The adenoid and tonsil size were evaluated by means of convention X-ray. Results: The findings demonstrate that, in our group of 26 children with BMI above the 90th percentile for their age, there was a significant relationship between SDB, understood to be the presence of habitual snoring together with mouth breathing at night and excessive diurnal drowsiness, and tonsil size and the BMI (odds ratio: 1,19; 95% confidence interval: 1,06 to 1,29; p=0.001). Moreover, a tonsil size for more than 2, as a screening test for SDB in obese children, had a positive predictive value of 82,4%, a negatibe predictive value of 78%, a sensitivity of 37,6% and a specificity of 95,9%. Conclusions: The presence of large tonsil has a higher odds ratio than obesity alone in the prediction of SDB in obese children. Neverthless, both are independent predictive factors of risk of this problems. Thus, routine clinical assessment of habitual snoring and of the symptoms of tonsillar hypertrophy, which involves simple, rapid and critical measurements, may help to prevent the morbidity associated with sleep disorders in the obese patient. The high specificity and low sensitivity of tonsil size as a predictor of SRBD suggests that obese children with evidence of excessive pharyngeal tissue present a high probability of developing a SRBD

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to better understand the sleeping habits and its most frequent alterations in a general pediatric population and to propose a systematic study of ambulatory attendance. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A questionnaire of closed questions, multiple choice and unique answers was sent to an infantile population constituted of 240 children between 6 and 11 months of age and 894 children between 1 and 6 years of age. Data was collected in the 4 different seasons of the year when concluding the control of health. The answers came from the closest relative. RESULTS: 1. There was a high incidence of sleep interruptions during the first semester of life (53.3%). 2. Starting from the third year of life, an important decrease in night awakenings took place. In spite of this, until 6 years of age, 18.6% of the children interrupted their family's sleep at least 3 times per week. 3. At 6 years of age 12.1% of the children had not learned how to fall asleep. CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirms a high incidence of alterations of sleep and the necessity of insisting in its prevention during health revisions.
