Parents of London preschoolers with sickle cell anemia (SCA; n = 22), matched controls (n = 24), and unselected typically developing (n = 142) preschoolers completed sleep questionnaires. Preschoolers with SCA had significantly more sleep problems when compared to matched controls and the larger population. Snoring occurred at least one to two nights a week for 79% of the SCA group. This is compared with 25% of matched controls and 33% of larger population. Randomized controlled trials to improve sleep in young children with SCA already at-risk for cognitive dysfunction should be considered. date: 2017-06 date_type: published official_url: http://doi.org/10.1002/pbc.26337 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1194222 doi: 10.1002/pbc.26337 lyricists_name: De Haan, Michelle lyricists_name: Kirkham, Fenella lyricists_id: MDEHA58 lyricists_id: FKIRK91 full_text_status: public publication: Pediatric Blood & Cancer volume: 64 number: 6 article_number: e26337 event_location: United States issn: 1545-5017 citation: Downes, M; De Haan, M; Kirkham, FJ; Telfer, PT; (2017) Parent reported sleep problems in preschool children with sickle cell anemia and controls in East London.
