Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea is Associated With Changes in the Oral Microbiome and Urinary Metabolomics Profile: A Pilot Study

Conclusions:High-throughput sequencing revealed that the oral microbiome composition and function were significantly altered in pediatric OSA. Further studies are needed to confirm and determine the mechanisms underlying these findings.Citation:Xu H, Li X, Zheng X, Xia Y, Fu Y, Li X, Qian Y, Zou J, Zhao A, Guan J, Gu M, Yi H, Jia W, Yin S.
