Abstract excerpt

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) suffer from excessive sleepiness and sleep disordered breathing (SDB). We reviewed the polysomnograms (PSGs) and multiple sleep latency tests (MSLTs) in a cohort of PWS patients to determine the relationship of BMI(Z) scores, daytime sleepiness, growth hormone (GH) treatments, and SDB. METHODS: Attended overnight PSGs were performed for PWS patients...
