Design: Longitudinl nlysis. Setting: The Clevelnd Children s Sleep nd Helth Study, n ethniclly mixed, urbn, community-bsed cohort, followed 8 y. Prticipnts: There were 490 prticipnts with overnight polysomnogrphy dt vilble t ges 8 11 nd y. Mesurements nd Results: Bseline prticipnt chrcteristics nd helth history were scertined from prent report nd US census dt. OSA ws defined s n obstructive pne- hypopne index 5 or n obstructive pne index 1. OSA prevlence ws pproximtely 4% t ech exmintion, but OSA lrgely did not persist from middle childhood to lte dolescence. Hbitul snoring nd obesity predicted OSA in crosssectionl nlyses t ech time point. Residence in disdvntged neighborhood, Africn-Americn rce, nd premture birth lso predicted OSA in middle childhood, wheres mle sex, high body mss index, nd history of tonsillectomy or denoidectomy were risk fctors mong dolescents. Obesity, but not hbitul snoring, in middle childhood predicted dolescent OSA. Conclusions: Becuse OSA in middle childhood usully remitted by dolescence nd most dolescent cses were incident cses, criteri other thn concern lone over OSA persistence or incidence should be used when mking tretment decisions for peditric OSA. Moreover, OSA s distinct risk fctors t ech time point underscore the need for lterntive risk-fctor ssessments cross peditric ges. The greter importnce of middle childhood obesity compred to snoring in predicting dolescent OSA provides support for screening, preventing, nd treting obesity in childhood.

Remission nd incidence of obstructive sleep pne from middle childhood to lte dolescence. SLEEP 2015;38(1): INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep pne (OSA) ffects 1 4% of children nd dolescents 1 4 nd is ssocited with behviorl, cognitive, nd physiologicl deficits. 5 7 Epidemiologicl dt, minly crosssectionl, hve identified severl peditric risk fctors: premture birth, Africn-Americn rce, obesity, nd residence in disdvntged neighborhood 2,8 ; denotonsillr hypertrophy 9 ; Hispnic ethnicity 10 ; crniofcil bnormlities 11 ; nd history of upper nd lower respirtory disese. 12 Longitudinl reserch ddressing the incidence nd vrition of OSA risk fctors cross peditric ges is reltively limited. 1,7,13 20 Previous longitudinl studies using polysomnogrphy (PSG) reported tht pproximtely 8 10% of children with primry snoring progress to OSA over 1- to 3-y period, 1,15,16 lthough recent community-bsed study of children with longer follow-up period (4.6 y on verge) reported tht more thn one-third progressed to OSA defined s n obstructive pne-hypopne index (OAHI) 1 event per hour. 21 A popultion-bsed study of 6- to 12-y-old children followed 5 yers reported sleep disordered brething (SDB) incidence A commentry on this rticle ppers in this issue on pge 11.

Mle sex hs been ssocited with risk of primry snoring 1,19,20 nd incident nd persistent SDB. 18 However, study of more thn 12,000 UK children followed from infncy to erly childhood reported tht over time, the ssocition of SDB symptoms with child-level fctors decresed, wheres fctors relted to socil conditions persisted. 17 Furthermore, lthough SDB predicts future body mss index (BMI), 18 only two longitudinl studies hve ddressed whether BMI predicts future OSA. The first study involved smll, clinic-bsed smple of primry snorers nd reported no significnt chnge in BMI in the smple t the pproximtely 2-y follow-up. 15 The second study, community-bsed smple, reported tht persistent obesity (obesity t both bseline nd 4.6-y follow-up) but not bseline obesity lone predicted OSA t follow-up. 21 However, the study smple once gin ws limited to primry snorers only. To improve understnding of OSA s epidemiology in children nd dolescents, we report the results of longitudinl study of objectively mesured OSA in community-bsed child cohort tht included substntil number of Africn Americns nd children born premturely, two groups with incresed risk for OSA during erly nd middle childhood. 2,22 The study s primry purpose ws to exmine OSA incidence nd remission from middle childhood (ge 8 11 y) through lte dolescence (ge y) nd ssess whether risk fctors for OSA in middle childhood remined so in dolescence.

2 especilly s irwy size nd centrl body ft increse while lymphoid tissue regresses, we hypothesized tht obesity would more strongly ssocite with OSA in dolescence compred to middle childhood. Secondry objectives were to exmine other subject chrcteristics relted to OSA in lte dolescence; ssess OSA incidence in primry snorers; nd explore how lterntive OSA definitions ffect incidence rtes. METHODS Smple The study smple consisted of prticipnts in the longitudinl Clevelnd Children s Sleep nd Helth Study cohort, 2 strtified rndom smple of 907 term nd preterm children born from t three mjor Clevelnd-re hospitls. Africn Americn nd former preterm children were intentionlly overrepresented to increse internl vlidity nd produce stble estimtes of ssocitions between OSA nd helth outcomes for these subgroups. This nlysis includes mesurements from two key developmentl time points: middle childhood (dt collected , child ge 8 11 y) nd lte dolescence (dt collected from , children ge y); 517 prticipted in both exmintions (Figure S1, supplementl mteril). Prticipnt nd fmily chrcteristics for who did (n = 517) nd did not (n = 390) prticipte in the lte dolescent follow-up exmintion were similr except tht greter proportion of youth prticipting in both exmintions hd cregivers with eduction greter thn high school: 59% versus 41%, P = 0.02 (Tble S1, supplementl mteril). Procedures Prents (or legl gurdins) nd dolescents (18 y or older) provided informed, written consent. Children provided ssent. The University Hospitls of Clevelnd s institutionl review bord pproved the study. Middle Childhood Assessment Dt collection detils hve been described previously. 2 Assessments occurred in prticipnts homes. Demogrphic nd medicl dt were obtined by prent-completed, stndrdized questionnire. 23 In-home sleep pne monitoring ws conducted with Type III sleep monitor recording thorcic nd bdominl excursions nd estimted tidl volume, pulse oximetry, hert rte, nd body position (PT-2 system, SensorMedics, Yorb Lind, CA). Respirtory events were scored if 8 sec (or two or more missed respirtory cycles). Obstructive pnes were scored when chest nd bdominl efforts were synchronous nd estimted tidl volume ws bsent or nerly bsent, irrespective of ssocited desturtion. Hypopnes were scored when respirtory efforts were ccompnied by 50% reduction in estimted tidl volume nd ccompnied by 3% oxyhemoglobin desturtion. Adolescent Assessment Overnight PSG nd physiologicl nd nthropometric ssessments, including physicin-dministered physicl exmintion, followed stndrdized protocol t the reserch center, beginning t pproximtely 17:00 nd ending the following dy t 11:00. 24,25 The PSG recording (Compumedics E-series; Compumedics, Abbotsford, Austrli) consisted of mesurement of two electroencephlogrms (C 3 /C 2 nd C 4 / C 1 ), bilterl electrooculogrms, bipolr submentl electromyogrm, thorcic nd bdominl respirtory inductnce plethysmogrphy, irflow (nsl orl thermocouple nsl pressure recording), finger-pulse oximetry, electrocrdiogrm, body position, nd bilterl leg movements. Obstructive pnes were scored when complete or nerly complete bsence of irflow occurred on the thermistry chnnel for 10 sec in ssocition with respirtory effort. Hypopnes were identified s n pproximtely 50% reduction in irflow or summed respirtory excursions ssocited with n oxygen desturtion 3% (see supplementl methods for dditionl protocol informtion). For both exmintions, the OAHI ws defined s ll obstructive or mixed pnes nd hypopnes with 3% desturtion per sleep hour. Study Mesures Prticipnt chrcteristics such s rce/ethnicity (Africn Americn versus other); history of OSA, tonsillectomy or denoidectomy; physicin-dignosed sthm; mternl smoking; hbitul snoring ( 1 2 times per week during the pst month); nd cregiver eduction were obtined from prent or dolescent. Preterm sttus (gesttionl ge < 37 w) ws obtined from hospitl birth records. Tonsil size ws scertined by physicin exm using five-point scle (see supplementl methods). Residence in socioeconomiclly distressed neighborhood ws determined using US census dt per estblished procedures (see supplementl methods). 8,26 BMI (kg/ m 2 ), bsed on direct height nd weight mesurement, ws converted into ge- nd sex-djusted percentiles ( cdc.gov/growthchrts/). Obesity ws defined s BMI 95th percentile for ge nd sex. The primry study outcome, OSA, ws defined s n OAHI 5 or n obstructive pne index (OAI) 1. Secondry outcomes were: (1) SDB, defined s OSA, hbitul snoring, or both; nd (2) OSA defined s n OAHI 1. Sttisticl Anlyses Study vribles were summrized using mens (M) nd stndrd devitions (SD) for normlly distributed vribles, medins nd interqurtile rnges for mrkedly nonnormlly distributed vribles, counts nd proportions for ctegoricl vribles, nd included two-smple t-tests, Wilcoxon rnk-sum tests, nd chisqure tests. The concordnce of OSA (nd SDB) in middle childhood nd dolescence were exmined using McNemr test. Log-binomil models ssessed the reltion of previously identified risk fctors with OSA in dolescence; reltive risk rtios (RR) nd 95% confidence intervls (95% CI) re presented. Models were estimted without covrite djustment nd fter djusting for BMI z-score t either ge 8 11 y or y. Secondry nlyses exmined ssocitions restricted to full-term births or nonobese prticipnts t ge 8 11 y, nd ssocition of hbitul snoring in middle childhood with incident OSA t ge y. Logistic regression nlyses exmined the crosssectionl ssocition of prticipnt chrcteristics with OSA (see supplementl methods); odds rtios (OR) nd 95% CI re reported. Anlyses were performed using SAS (SAS Institute, Inc., Cry, NC). SLEEP, Vol. 38, No. 1, Remission nd Incidence of Peditric OSA Spilsbury et l.
3 RESULTS Smple Chrcteristics The nlytic smple consisted of 490 prticipnts for whom PSG dt were vilble both t middle childhood (M = 9.5, SD = 0.8 y) nd lte dolescence (M = 17.7, SD = 0.4 y). The men time between visits ws 8.2 y (SD = 0.7 y). Approximtely hlf of the smple ws mle, 36.5% were Africn Americn, nd 44.1% were premture t birth (see supplementl results for detils). At the middle childhood exmintion, 22.1% lived in distressed neighborhood, 15.1% were obese, 7.1% hd history of tonsillectomy or denoidectomy, nd 19.6% reported doctor s dignosis of sthm. At the lte dolescence exmintion, obesity prevlence incresed to 19.4%; tonsillectomy or denoidectomy to 12.0%, nd n sthm dignosis to 28.8%. OSA Prevlence, Remission, nd Incidence From Middle Childhood to Lte Adolescence OSA prevlence ws 4.7% mong 8- to 11-y-olds nd 4.3% mong 16- to 19-y-olds. OSA did not persist from middle childhood to lte dolescence. Only two of the 23 prticipnts (8.7%) with OSA t ge 8 11 y hd OSA t ge y (P = 0.75) (Figure 1). Five of the 21 children whose OSA remitted by dolescence underwent tonsillectomy or denoidectomy between exmintions (Figure 1). Of the 467 children without OSA in middle childhood, 19 (4.0%) hd incident OSA t lte dolescence. Predictors of OSA in Middle Childhood nd Lte Adolescence As we reported before, 2,8 comprison of children with nd without OSA t 8 11 y reveled tht significntly greter proportion of children with OSA were Africn Americn, of preterm birth, living in distressed neighborhood, nd hbitul snorers (Tble 1). However, none of these chrcteristics predicted OSA t y in undjusted nlyses (Tbles 1 nd 2) or in BMI-djusted nlyses (Tble 2). Similr results were observed in secondry nlyses strtified by term sttus (Tble S2, supplementl mteril) nd secondry nlyses restricted to nonobese prticipnts (Tble S3, supplementl mteril). Child chrcteristics t ge 8 11 y tht were ssocited with OSA t ge yers were mle sex, obesity, higher BMI z-score, nd history of tonsillectomy or denoidectomy (Tble 1). Cross-sectionl, undjusted nlyses of chrcteristics t ge y reveled tht BMI z-score, obesity, mle sex, history of tonsillectomy or denoidectomy, sthm, nd hbitul snoring were positively ssocited with dolescent OSA (Tbles 3 nd 4). After djusting for BMI z-score, mle sex nd history of tonsillectomy or denoidectomy remined significnt (Tble 4). In secondry BMI-djusted nlyses restricted to full-term prticipnts, mles nd prticipnts with sthm hd significntly incresed odds of dolescent OSA (Tble S4, supplementl mteril). Hbitul Snoring nd OSA Hbitul snoring t ge 8 11 y ws not significntly ssocited with incident OSA t ge y. Among the 68 children without OSA who hbitully snored t 8 11 y, 5 (7.3%) developed OSA t ge y. In comprison, 14 of the 397 individuls without OSA who were nonsnorers (3.5%) developed Figure 1 Incidence nd remission of OSA from middle childhood to lte dolescence.

Among the 513 prticipnts with vilble snoring dt (cregiver or self-report) t both time points, 16.2% of the 8- to 11-y-olds nd 22.4% of the dolescents were hbitul snorers. Hlf (50.6%) of the hbitul snorers t ge 8 11 y remined so t ge y (P = 0.003). Seventeen percent of the 430 nonsnorers t ge 8 11 y developed hbitul snoring by ge y. Alterntive OSA nd SDB Definitions Undjusted nlyses using broder definition of SDB (PSGmesured OSA, hbitul snoring, or both) showed tht SDB in dolescence ws ssocited with dolescent BMI z-score, mle sex, Africn Americn bckground, previous tonsillectomy or denoidectomy, nd sthm (Tble S5, supplementl mteril). All covrites except sthm retined significnce in model djusted for ll chrcteristics simultneously. Sensitivity nlyses redefining OSA using threshold of OAHI 1 showed tht 47.2% of the 53 children now clssified s hving OSA t ge 8 11 y lso hd OSA t ge y (P < 0.001), nd 27.7% of the 437 children without OSA t 8 11 y developed OSA by y. Moreover, 31.7% of the children with hbitul snoring but not OSA t 8 11 y developed OSA t ge y, using the redefinition of OSA t both time points.

Our observed rtes for OSA persistence (8.7%) nd incidence (4% over 8.2 y) were much lower thn those reported from southwestern US cohort of White nd Hispnic children ge 6 to 17 y (Tucson Children s Assessment of Sleep Apne Study, or TuCs), which found 29% SDB persistence from bseline (M = 8.5 y) to follow-up (M = 14.7 y) nd 10% incidence over 5 y. 18 The lrge rte differences between the two longitudinl studies underscore the sensitivity of OSA to the event definitions used (TuCs used threshold of one event per hour nd included centrl events). When we explored using n OSA definition similr to TuCs (OAHI 1), our OSA incidence incresed from 4.0% to 27.7%, nd persistence incresed from 8.7% to 47.2%. Similr to findings in children followed from infncy to erly childhood, 17 our findings reveled little overlp in OSA risk fctors in middle childhood compred to lte dolescence. Congruent with our previous reports, 2,8 Africn Americn rce, preterm sttus, nd neighborhood distress were risk fctors for OSA t ge 8 11 y, but not in dolescence. In contrst, new risk fctors emerged: mle sex nd history of tonsillectomy or denoidectomy. Additionlly, dolescents with OSA hd greter BMI compred to their peers without OSA both t dolescence nd t middle childhood, even though most of them did not hve OSA when younger. The ssocition of obesity with development of OSA hs been similrly reported mong children with primry snoring. 21 Although the ssocition between sthm nd OSA ws prtilly confounded with obesity nd sex, higher OSA rte in children with sthm is consistent Tble 4 Cross-sectionl odds rtios of obstructive sleep pne t ge y (N = 515; n = 24 with obstructive sleep pne).

Although smple sizes were smll, observed ssocitions were generlly similr to those for the full smple, except for possibly stronger ssocitions between OSA nd history of tonsillectomy or denoidectomy mong former preterm prticipnts, nd between OSA nd sthm mong full-term prticipnts (Tbles S2-S4). The identifiction of mle sex s n dolescent OSA risk fctor mirrors previous reports. 18,20 Sex effects hve been reported to be weker in prepubertl children. 17 These findings indicte tht sex differences my differentilly modulte OSA risk in children in peripubertl nd postpubertl periods Africn Americn rce ws more strongly ssocited with OSA in younger compred to older children, for uncler resons. Africn Americn rce likely represents combintion of socioculturl, environmentl, nd genetic risk fctors whose influence my vry in ssocition with growth nd development. Perhps the OR = 1.91 for Africn Americn rce for dolescent OSA, though elevted, filed to rech significnce given the reltively smll number of children with OSA in this community-bsed smple. The significnt ssocition observed between SDB nd Africn Americn rce mong dolescents supports this notion. Hbitul snoring ws ssocited with OSA t ech time point. However, snoring during middle childhood did not predict dolescent OSA using our conservtive definition of OSA, indicting the greter importnce of middle childhood obesity compred to snoring in predicting dolescent OSA, nd providing further support for preventing nd treting obesity in childhood. Also, snoring, though reltively stble cross the ges of 8 18 y nd ssocited with OSA cross-sectionlly, did not by itself strongly predict incident OSA, finding congruent with tht reported for smll clinicl smple of younger children. 15 Antomicl nd developmentl chnges my prtilly explin shifts in OSA risk fctors from childhood through dolescence. Across childhood, lrge chnges occur in upper irwy ntomy nd phryngel irwy collpsibility, 32 nd in body SLEEP, Vol. 38, No. 1, Remission nd Incidence of Peditric OSA Spilsbury et l.
6 ft distribution, tonsillr size, lung size, nd hormonl levels. Younger children my be more sensitive to environmentl irritnts nd to the effects of smller lung volumes or centrl ventiltory instbility ssocited with premturity, wheres older children with lrger lung volumes nd phryngel dimensions my be more susceptible to influences ssocited with obesity nd mle sex, reflecting the dynmic complexity of fctors influencing irwy size nd ptency cross childhood. Of note, history of tonsillectomy or denoidectomy ws n OSA risk fctor t ge y. OSA in children who hve hd tonsillectomy hs been ssocited with fmilil risk of OSA 33 nd suggests tht history of tonsillectomy my identify children t risk for OSA becuse of fctors extending beyond lymphoid hypertrophy 34 (i.e., history of tonsillectomy or denoidectomy is functioning s mrker of other risk fctors). Furthermore, children whose tonsils nd/or denoids were removed my not hve been cured, especilly if they were obese or Africn Americn, two groups in whom symptoms re less likely to resolve fter surgery. 12,33 Study limittions should be noted. First, certin methodologicl spects of the study might hve underestimted or overestimted OSA. For exmple, technologicl ssessments of OSA differed cross time points, nd results of recent study compring overnight polysomnogrphy with respirtory polygrphy (similr to our in-home method) indicte tht AHI clculted in home studies my be underestimted becuse of (1) missed hypopnes cusing rousls without desturtion nd (2) use of totl recording time s the denomintor insted of totl sleep time, which cn be derived from polysomnogrphy. 35 Also, pproximtely 20% of prticipnts t ech time point hd sthm. Children with sthm re more likely to experience desturtions (especilly in rpid eye movement), which re likely cused by their lung condition nd underlying sleep neurobiology, not obstruction per se, 36 potentilly leding to n over-estimtion of OSA in this popultion. Regrding misestimtions, we cn note tht in our study, smple of children studied with both in-lbortory nd in-home studies showed good greement in AHI mesured using both techniques, 2 nd it ws unlikely tht use of two techniques resulted in identifying unique groups of children t ech exmintion. Second, using common definition for OSA in peditric popultions is chllenging. Our primry nlysis used conservtive definition to mximize comprbility nd clinicl relevnce in dolescents. Secondry nlyses showed tht prevlence nd incidence rtes incresed mrkedly s thresholds for bnormlity were lowered. Third, representtion of Hispnic nd Asin children ws smll, limiting generlizbility. Fourth, over the 8-y follow-up period, only of the originl cohort ws studied. However, prticipnts who were nd were not followed up were similr, except tht cregiver eduction ws lower for those who were not followed up. Finlly, the reltively few OSA cses limited power to detect weker risk fctors nd precluded djusting for multiple confounders. In conclusion, study findings suggest tht dolescents present with more dult-like OSA profile, 37 which hs importnt implictions for peditric screening for OSA through clinicl history: specificlly, screening must be tilored to specific ge rnges. Perhps estblishing ge-bsed cutoffs of AHI scores for dignosis of OSA (e.g., more liberl cutoff for younger ges, nd more conservtive cutoff for older ges) might lso be pproprite. At this point in time, more reserch is needed to identify the most pproprite cutoffs for dverse helth outcomes in children, teens, nd young dults. Findings lso underscore the need to prevent obesity in erly childhood, which my reduce the likelihood of dolescent OSA. Children who hve hd tonsillectomy or denoidectomy re t incresed risk for dolescent OSA becuse they likely hve dditionl risk fctors for OSA nd should be monitored for OSA symptoms nd signs. In the community, untreted OSA in middle childhood usully does not persist. Similrly, hbitul snoring usully does not progress to OSA from middle childhood to dolescence. However, this lck of progression does not men tht hbitul snoring is unimportnt or hrmless. Ultimtely, concerns bout ptients current symptoms nd sequele should guide decisions regrding surgery for the full spectrum of peditric SDB, not just concerns over persistence or incidence of OSA.

8 SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL SUPPLEMENTAL METHODS Sleep Study Scoring Middle-childhood ssessment In-home, sleep-pne monitoring ws conducted with Type III sleep monitor recording thorcic nd bdominl excursions nd estimted tidl volume, pulse oximetry, hert rte, nd body position (PT-2 system, SensorMedics, Yorb Lind, CA). Respirtory events were scored if 8 sec long (or two or more missed respirtory cycles). The use of n 8-sec durtion ccounted for children s fster respirtory rte thn in dults (or lte dolescents) nd lower functionl residul cpcity, which cn led to more rpid desturtion with short respirtory events. Obstructive pnes were scored when chest nd bdominl efforts were synchronous nd estimted tidl volume ws bsent or nerly bsent, irrespective of ssocited desturtion. Hypopnes were scored when respirtory efforts were ccompnied by 50% reduction in estimted tidl volume nd ccompnied by 3% oxyhemoglobin desturtion. Adolescent ssessment Overnight polysomnogrphy (PSG) nd physiologicl nd nthropometric ssessments, including physicin-dministered physicl exm, followed stndrdized protocol t the reserch center, beginning t pproximtely 17:00 nd ending the following dy t 11:00. 1,2 The PSG recording (Compumedics E-series; Compumedics, Abbotsford, Austrli) consisted of mesurement of two electroencephlogrms (C 3 /C 2 nd C 4 /C 1 ), bilterl electrooculogrms, bipolr submentl electromyogrm, thorcic nd bdominl respirtory inductnce plethysmogrphy, irflow (nsl orl thermocouple nsl pressure recording), finger-pulse oximetry, electrocrdiogrm, body position, nd bilterl leg movements. Obstructive pnes were scored when complete or nerly complete bsence of irflow occurred on the thermistry chnnel for 10 sec in ssocition with respirtory effort. Hypopnes were identified s n pproximtely 50% reduction in irflow or summed respirtory excursions ssocited with n oxygen desturtion of 3%. For both exmintions, the obstructive pne-hypopne index (OAHI) ws defined s ll obstructive or mixed pnes nd hypopnes with 3% desturtion per sleep hour. Comprbility of dt from the middle childhood to lte dolescent exmintion A smple of 112 children underwent both in-home sleep pne testing nd full in-lbortory PSG (sleep stging, nslorl irflow, respirtory effort, oximetry, nd electrocrdiogrphy). In subsmple of 55 children who underwent both tests within 3 mo of the other, the men OAHI index ws 2.6 ± 8.0 nd 2.9 ± 7.5 for lbortory versus home studies, respectively (intrclss correltion coefficient = 0.85). Furthermore, there ws no evidence tht inclusion of rousls in the definitions of hypopnes pprecibly ltered the AHI estimtes.
