Healthy Sleep for Children With Down Syndrome
The purpose of this multi-center observational study (utilizing the sites enrolling patients for the Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Trial for Snoring (PATS) \[1U011HL125307-O1A1\]) is to gather data regarding children with Down syndrome (DS) and Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) referred for treatment with adenotonsillectomy to inform a future randomized controlled trial in this population.
• DS diagnosis regardless of genetic status (e.g., mosaicism or translocation).
• Aged \>3 to \<13 years at the date of consent.
• Primary indication for AT is nocturnal obstructive symptoms (i.e., not recurrent infections or other indications).
• Deemed to be a candidate for AT by Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) evaluation; that is, no technical issues that would be a contraindication for surgery such as submucous cleft palate.
