Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at Two Years of Age for Premature Infants Diagnosed With Neonatal Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Conclusions:The median score for cognitive, language, and motor scores for preterm infants with neonatal OSA were within one standard deviation of the published norm. Mean end-tidal CO2, independent of AHI, may serve as a biomarker for predicting poor cognitive outcome in preterm infants with neonatal OSA.Commentary:A commentary on this article appears in this issue on page 1233.Citation:Bandyopadhyay A, Harmon H, Slaven JE, Daftary AS.
