PG - 824-30 LID - 10.1016/j.sleep.2012.04.016 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the respiratory response to proton pump inhibitors (PPI) in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). METHODS: Of 131 children diagnosed with OSAS (Apnea Hypopnea Index, AHI >1/h), 37 children (6.9 years; 28.24%) with GERD symptoms (>3 times/week) were included. Overnight polysomnography with 24h pH-metry was performed before and after 4-8 weeks of PPI treatment (omeprazole once a day, 1mg/kg). RESULTS: Of 37 children, 21 were diagnosed with acid GERD where pre- and post-treatment reflux indexes were 14.09+/-1.47 vs. 7.73+/-1.36; (p<0.001). The number of obstructive apneas and hypopneas decreased after PPI treatment, resulting in an AHI reduction from 13.08+/-3.11/h to 8.22+/-2.52/h; (p<0.01). Respiratory response to PPI ranged from complete resolution of OSA (three children with mild OSA; AHI<5/h; 10.31years; 14.29%) to lack of significant AHI change (six children with severe OSA; AHI>10/h; 3.62 years; 28.57%). Post-treatment AHI was predicted by pre-treatment reflux index (adjusted R(2)=0.487; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Reduction of obstructive respiratory events following short-term PPI treatment in children with both GERD and OSAS may suggest a causal relationship between apnea and reflux in some children. Questionnaire screening for GERD in children with OSAS may be of benefit. CI - Copyright (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
