BACKGROUND: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients are at a high risk of developing sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study aimed to determine the risk of developing OSA among DMD patients.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2022 to July 2022 in a tertiary healthcare facility. As a screening tool for OSA, we used the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ).
RESULTS: Subjects included 60 boys with DMD, mean age 10.15 ± 3.54 years. The mean BMI for all subjects was 18.9 ± 4.08 kg/m2. Of these, 22 (36.7%) children were at high risk of OSA. Children who were overweight, and on steroids tended to be at higher risk of developing OSA (P < 0.043) and (P < 0.029) respectively.
CONCLUSION: Our study shows a significant risk of OSA in DMD patients. Therefore, Sleep studies should be part of the standard of care for DMD patients.
