    Open AccessTessa K Kolstad, Lourdes M DelRosso et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at high risk of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a polysomnogram (PSG) in children with DS prior to the age of 4. This retrospective study examined the frequency of SDB, gas exchange abnormalities, co-morbidities, and surgical management in children with DS aged 2-4 years old at Seattle Children's Hospital from 2015-2021. A total of 153 children underwent PSG, wit…

This method may assist physicians and parents to determine…

The efficacy and safety of benzodiazepines and nonbenzodiazepines, relative to placebo, were compared indirectly. OBJECTIVES: Determine how the results of indirect comparisons made in the review compare with the results of direct comparisons, as well as with estimates derived from Bayesian mixed treatment comparisons. …
