Randomized Controlled Trial
Sleep-disordered breathing and behaviors of inner-city children with asthma.
To explore the relationship between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and behavioral problems among inner-city children with asthma. ⋯ We found that poor sleep was independently associated with behavior problems in a large proportion of urban children with asthma. Systematic screening for SDB in this high-risk population might help to identify children who would benefit from additional intervention.
