This study aimed to describe the characteristics and natural history of childhood REM-OSA and to evaluate the associations between OSA subtypes and blood pressure (BP) outcomes.Participants and Methods: This was a prospective 10-year follow-up study of a cohort established for a childhood OSA epidemiologic study. All subjects from the original cohort were invited to undergo a polysomnography (PSG) and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring. REM-OSA was defined with a ratio of obstructive apnea hypopnea index (OAHI) during REM sleep (OAHIREM) to OAHI during non-REM sleep (OAHINREM) ≥ 2. Natural history was observed and linear mixed models were used to assess the associations between OSA subtypes and BP outcomes.Results: A total of 610 participants from baseline were included to study the epidemiology of REM-OSA in childhood. Among children with OSA, 65% had REM-OSA. At 10-year follow-up, 234 were included in the analysis. REM-OSA was more common at both baseline (58/92, 63%) and 10-year follow-up (34/58, 59%). For those with REM-OSA at baseline and persistent OSA at follow-up, the majority (72%) remained to have REM-OSA. Compared to those without OSA, subjects with REM-OSA had significantly higher nocturnal SBP (mean difference 2.19 mmHg, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.12, 4.26; p = 0.039) and DBP (mean difference 1.58 mmHg, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.11, 3.04; p = 0.035), and less nocturnal SBP dipping (mean difference − 1.84%, 95% CI: − 3.25, − 0.43; p = 0.011), after adjusting for potential confounders. This significant association between REM-OSA and nocturnal SBP dipping was observed at baseline visit only.Conclusion: REM-OSA was found to be a stable phenotype through childhood to young adulthood, and REM-OSA was associated with higher nocturnal BP and a lesser degree of nocturnal SBP dipping in children.Keywords: obstructive sleep apnea, children, epidemiology, stage-dependent OSA, rapid eye movement, phenotype, blood pressureChan KCAu CTYu MWWing YKLi AMDove Medical Pressarticleobstructive sleep apneachildrenepidemiologystage-dependent osarapid eye movementphenotypeblood pressurePsychiatryRC435-571Neurophysiology and neuropsychologyQP351-495ENNature and Science of Sleep, Vol Volume 13, Pp 1967-1984 (2021)
