Our findings show a higher incidence of SRBD than previously reported in the population with DS. Furthermore, snoring was not sensitive enough to predict OSA. This high risk of SRBD may increase the risk of other comorbid conditions seen in the population with DS. Our results support the need for routine PSG screening independent of symptoms such as snoring status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/ham.2017.0149","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,1]],"date-time":"2019-07-01T11:52:36Z","timestamp":1561981956000},"page":"231-235","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["High Incidence of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders in Children with Down Syndrome Referred to a High-Altitude Sleep Laboratory"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Adriana Maria","family":"Posada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogota, Colombia."},{"name":"Obstructive Sleep Apnea Interest Group, Bogota, Colombia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Isaza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogota, Colombia."},{"name":"Obstructive Sleep Apnea Interest Group, Bogota, Colombia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Panqueva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstructive Sleep Apnea Interest Group, Bogota, Colombia."},{"name":"Sleep Clinic, San Ignacio University Hospital, Bogota, Colombia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin Alonso","family":"Rondon-Sepulveda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogota, Colombia."},{"name":"Obstructive Sleep Apnea Interest Group, Bogota, Colombia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Hidalgo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogota, Colombia."},{"name":"Obstructive Sleep Apnea Interest Group, Bogota, Colombia."},{"name":"Sleep Clinic, San Ignacio University Hospital, Bogota, Colombia."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5664\/jcsm.2172"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2011-1605"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5665\/sleep.3134"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
