OBJECTIVE: To determine whether sustained resolution of @entity25 breathing (SDB) in young @entity1 , either because of treatment or spontaneous recovery, predicted long-term improvements in quality of life, family functioning, and parental stress. STUDY DESIGN: @entity1 diagnosed with primary snoring (n  =  16), mild @entity27 ( @entity27 , n  =  11), @entity19354 ( @entity19354 ) @entity27 (n  =  8), and healthy nonsnoring controls (n  =  25) at ages 3-5  years underwent repeat polysomnography at 6-8  years. Parents completed quality of life and parental stress questionnaires at both time points. Resolution of SDB was determined as @entity27 ( @entity27 )  <=1 event/hour, or absence of snoring during polysomnography or on parent report. Linear mixed-model analyses determined the effects of resolution on psychosocial morbidity. @entity27 was used to determine the predictive value of changes in SDB severity on psychosocial outcomes. RESULTS: Fifty percent of primary snoring, 45% mild @entity27 , and 63% @entity19354 @entity27 resolved, of which 67% received treatment. @entity1 originally diagnosed with SDB continued to show significant @entity73 compared with nonsnoring controls, irrespective of resolution. A reduction in @entity27 predicted improvements in physical symptoms, school functioning, family worry and family relationships, and stress related to a difficult @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: Treatment was more likely to result in resolution of SDB if original symptoms were @entity19354 . @entity1 originally diagnosed with SDB, irrespective of resolution, continued to experience @entity409 suggesting additional interventions are required.
