This systematic review article aims to examine the existing literature on HNS use in children to explore the benefits, efficacy, and parental experiences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MEDLINE, Web of Science and EMBASE were searched to include all studies published up to March 2nd, 2023, on the topic of HNS use in pediatric population under 21\u2009years old.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 179 studies were initially identified from which 10 articles were consistent with the inclusion criteria. Nine articles addressed outcomes after implantation of the HNS device in children with DS and 1 article explored the parental experiences. Findings were similar across studies where after implantation of HNS, there was marked improvement in polysomnographic outcomes and quality of life scores with high level of compliance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HNS holds promise as an effective treatment option for pediatric patients with DS and persistent OSA after AT and CPAP trials. It significantly improves sleep-disordered breathing, quality of life, and neurocognitive measures, leading to substantial and sustained benefits for these children. While the findings are encouraging, further research is needed to explore the potential of HNS in other pediatric populations without DS and to raise awareness among healthcare providers about this treatment option. Overall, HNS may offer significant long-term benefits for the overall well-being and health of pediatric patients with DS and persistent OSA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00034894231216287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,8]],"date-time":"2023-12-08T01:19:41Z","timestamp":1701998381000},"page":"317-324","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Advances in the Use of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator in Adolescents With Down Syndrome and Persistent Obstructive Sleep Apnea\u2014A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"133","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2497-8965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frances","family":"Rodriguez Lara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8908-7269","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathan M.","family":"Carnino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael B.","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Boston Medical Center, Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica R.","family":"Levi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Boston Medical Center, Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00034894231216287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2012-1671"},{"key":"bibr2-00034894231216287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/33.11.1447"},{"key":"bibr3-00034894231216287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(82)80231-X"},{"key":"bibr4-00034894231216287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.157.4.9704080"},{"key":"bibr5-00034894231216287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-1634"},{"key":"bibr6-00034894231216287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/resp.13144"},{"key":"bibr7-00034894231216287","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18041642"},{"key":"bibr8-00034894231216287","volume-title":"The End of See It, Zap It!
