Abstract

Objective This study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics of children with asthma who were at high risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Methods A questionnaire survey among outpatient pediatric asthmatic children were conducted from September 2019 to January 2021. Children were categorized into an OSAS high-risk group and a control group based on responses to the questionnaire. Results A total of 200 asthmatic children were included, with 41.00% falling into the OSAS high-risk category. More uncontrolled asthmatic patients were found OSAS high-risk children (60.00% vs. 36.25%, χ2=7.46, P=0.006). Additionally, children in the OSAS high-risk group experienced a higher incidence of nocturnal asthma attacks (20.73% vs. 6.78%, P<0.05) and exercise-induced asthma symptoms (26.83% vs. 13.56%, P<0.05). The prevalence of adenoid hypertrophy was also greater in the OSAS high-risk group (35.37% vs. 8.47%, P<0.05), along with more severe symptoms of allergic rhinitis (P<0.05). Conclusion Children with asthma who are at high risk for OSAS are more likely to exhibit poorly controlled asthma, severe symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and a higher incidence of adenoid hypertrophy.
