Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during pregnancy leads to adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. There have been limited studies evaluated the effect of intrauterine exposure to maternal OSA on childhood developmental outcomes. This study was aimed to evaluate the early development of children born to mothers with gestational OSA and the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. Methods: Children aged 6–36 months, born to high risk pregnant mothers who had overnight polysomnography performed, were invited to participate. The Ages and Stages Questionnaires, third edition (ASQ-3), age-specific parent-completed questionnaires determining five developmental domains (communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social) were used for developmental screening. Children who had a score of at least one domain less than −1 SD of age cut-off were determined as having a risk of developmental delay (RDD). Results: There were 159 children (47% male, mean age 18 months) enrolled. The maternal PSG showed non-OSA, mild OSA, and moderate OSA in 14%, 46%, and 40%, respectively. Forty-two children (26%) had RDD, and the most affected domains were fine motor and problem-solving. Maternal moderate OSA was significantly associated with RDD (adjusted OR 5.39, 95%CI 1.11–26.12, P 0.037). Subgroup analysis showed that maternal moderate OSA with no CPAP treatment was significantly associated with RDD (OR 6.43, 95%CI 1.34–30.89, P = 0.020) Conclusion: Gestational moderate OSA in high-risk pregnancy mothers likely had a negative effect on early childhood developmental outcomes, particularly the mothers who did not have appropriate CPAP treatment.
