Presentation
An approach to evaluation and management is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Multiple linear regression analysis determined that smokers tended to be younger and have lower birth weight infants who presented earlier with apnea than infants of nonsmokers. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
ORPHA:70590 Classification level: Disorder Synonym(s): Apnea of infancy Prevalence: - Inheritance: - Age of onset: Neonatal, Infancy ICD-10: P28.4 OMIM: - UMLS: - MeSH: - GARD: 6779 MedDRA: - The documents contained in this web site are presented for [orpha.net]
The findings suggest that, although there were apparently no present developmental ramifications of the apnea, these infants are at risk for being perceived more negatively. [tandfonline.com]

The relationship of this fatigue syndrome to EBV is unclear; further studies are needed to determine its etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If they experience poor sleep quality, daytime fatigue or sleepiness, snoring, or breathing issues in sleep, they should talk with their health care provider. [epilepsy.com]
More specifically, cytokines and C-reactive protein are elevated in OSAHS patients and those molecules have been found to be linked to sleepiness, fatigue and the development of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders [5]. [physio-pedia.com]
Parents who use home apnea monitoring for their infants have been shown to have higher stress scores, greater levels of fatigue, and poorer health than parents of infants without home apnea monitors. 4-8 As a family physician, you are likely to encounter [mdedge.com]

- Headache
If left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of health problems, including: High blood pressure Stroke Heart failure, irregular heart beats, and heart attacks Diabetes Depression Worsening of ADHD Headaches In addition, untreated sleep apnea may [webmd.com]
Patients may awaken in the morning with a headache. [epilepsy.com]
Other effects are more flu-like, including a fever, headache and nausea. About 1 in 20 people who are infected with dengue will suffer a severe form of the disease, according to the CDC. [aspenpublicradio.org]
Other symptoms may include headaches, irritability, night sweats, attention deficit, memory loss, decreased libido, and depression [7]. [physio-pedia.com]

The median age of our patients at initial propranolol treatment was 19 days. Thus, the majority of our patients began treatment before or during the most rapid growth phase of IH. [nature.com]
Prognosis
Part I explores basic techniques to researching infantile apnea (e.g. finding guidelines on diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis), followed by a number of topics, including information on how to get in touch with organizations, associations, or other [amazon.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for primary congenital glaucoma depends on the age of onset. Glaucoma that presents at birth is more difficult to treat, with at least half of the affected eyes becoming legally blind. [eyewiki.aao.org]
PROGNOSIS • Apnea of prematurity does not alter an infant’s prognosis unless it is severe, recurrent, and refractory to therapy. • The associated problems of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), BPD, and retinopathy of prematurity are critical in determining [slideshare.net]

Etiology
The relationship of this fatigue syndrome to EBV is unclear; further studies are needed to determine its etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
APNEA and later respiratory distress of unknown etiology are the two types of respiratory problems that are most important in the newborn period. Their physiologic background is the subject of the first part of this review. [nejm.org]
Epidemiology
[…] for infants weighing less than 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg).[4] Studies have found that almost 2% of the pediatric population experience obstructive sleep apnea.[1] References[edit] ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n "Pediatric Apnea: Background, Pathophysiology, Epidemiology [en.wikipedia.org]

Many studies that reported an increased risk for siblings were performed before the current understanding of the epidemiology evolved. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology • Although multiple hypotheses have been proposed as the pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible for SIDS, none have been proven. [slideshare.net]
Introduction Apnea in infants is the term used to describe episodes of cessation of breathing and may be due to many physiological and pathophysiological processes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
