Neonatal Follow-up Sleep Schedule and Symptoms Survey

Pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and even snoring, the cardinal symptom of SDB, impose negative consequences on biobehavioral development. Approximately 2-3 of children and infants are at-risk for SDB, and up to 12-24% snore. Children born prematurely are considered to be at increased risk for SDB, and the effects of SDB on their developmental milestones are disproportionate compared to children who were born fullterm. However, the developmental trajectory of snoring and risk symptoms for SDB in the premature population is unknown. The current cross-sectional survey study will assess symptoms of SDB and snoring among participants at a Neonatal Follow-up Clinic at the WVU School of Medicine. This is a collaborative study between Dr. Montgomery-Downs in the Department of Psychology, and Susan Lynch, MD, Mark Polak, MD, and Susan Ritchie, CPNP, in the Department of Pediatrics.
