“…For example, Feng et al, 12 found that TSH levels, serum-free triiodothyronine (FT3), and FT4 did not significantly affect children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) before and after endoscopic adenoidectomy. This was also documented by the studies done in USA 25 and in Turkey, 26 wherein OSA showed no significant relationship with subclinical or prior hypothyroidism.…”

Thyroid problems and sleep disturbances are common health problems that impact people of all ages, income levels, and genders. The clinical relationship between these conditions is still not well understood, despite their widespread occurrence. The main objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence of thyroid disorders and evaluate the relationship between them and sleep quality in the Saudi Arabian population. Patients and Methods:The study employed an observational cross-sectional design and included a representative Saudi Arabian cohort. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was included in a digital self-administered survey that participants were asked to complete. Results: There were 1044 responders in the study, most of whom (54%) were between the ages of 21 and 30. Female respondents made up 62% of the sample. Thyroid disorders were diagnosed in 9.2% of cases. A significant correlation was found (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively) between thyroid disorders and sleep disturbances as well as the use of sleep medications. Conclusion:The study revealed a significant prevalence of poor sleep quality in the Saudi population as a whole, with thyroid disorder diagnosis and female gender emerging as independent risk factors. More extensive longitudinal studies in the area are desperately needed.

“…However, the association between SH and sleep disturbances has not been unequivocally reported in the literature. For instance, the study by Gencer et al (2022) included 120 participants, of whom 60 had newly diagnosed SH and 60 had normal thyroid functions; the authors did not detect any significant difference in the frequency and severity of obstructive sleep apneas measured by polysomnography ( Gencer et al, 2022 ). The absence of group differences in an indirect index of sleep-related breathing disorders, as provided by SBD scale scores of the SDSC, could be explained by two reasons.…”

BackgroundSubclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is particularly frequent in individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Despite the amount of evidence suggesting SH is associated with psychopathological symptoms and sleep problems in general population, poor is known about the emotional and behavioral features associated with SH in children with DS.ObjectiveThe first aim of the current study was to investigate differences in emotional and behavioral profiles between a group of children with DS exhibiting co-occurring SH and a group of age and BMI-matched children with DS without co-occurring SH. The second aim of the present study was to investigate differences in sleep disturbances between these groups.MethodsWe included in this retrospective study 98 participants with DS aged 3–18 years with the aim to explore differences in emotional/behavioral problems as well as in sleep difficulties between children with DS with or without co-occurring SH.ResultsParticipants with co-occurring SH exhibited significantly higher scores at several scales of the Conners’ Parent Rating Scales Long Version – Revised. However, they did not exhibit more sleep problems than control group.ConclusionThese results provide specific indications for psychological and neuropsychiatric evaluation of children with DS with suspected or diagnosed SH, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in clinical care for children and adolescents with DS.
