OBJECTIVE: Among older infants and children, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has negative neurocognitive consequences. We evaluated the frequency and potential impact of SDB among newborns who require intensive care. STUDY DESIGN: Term and near-term newborns at risk for seizures underwent 12-h attended polysomnography in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Bayley Scales of Infant Development, third edition (Bayley-III) were administered at 18-22 months. RESULT: The 48 newborns (EGA 39.3 ± 1.6) had a median pediatric apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 10.1 (3.3-18.5) and most events were central (vs obstructive). Maternal and prenatal factors were not associated with AHI. Moreover, neonatal PSG results were not associated with Bayley-III scores (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: SDB is common among term and near-term newborns at risk for seizures. Follow-up at ages when more nuanced testing can be performed may be necessary to establish whether neonatal SDB is associated with long-term neurodevelopmental disability.
