“…The association between NO2 exposure and snoring in children requires further investigation to determine the underlying mechanisms. While there is evidence linking NO2 exposure to the development of allergic disease, the association between NO2 and snoring appears to be independent of atopy 35,36 . Snoring is caused by upper airway obstruction during sleep, commonly at the nasal turbinate or nasopharynx.…”

Since one-third of children who snore consistently may have OSAS, understanding the causes is vital. Preventing snoring requires addressing obesity, allergies, and anatomical anomalies. Indoor allergens and enlarged tonsils and adenoids may also cause youngsters to snore. The review aims to identify and categorize key concepts, types of evidence, and research gaps in this area. The scoping review will follow the methodology and stages outlined by the Joana Briggs Institute ((JBI). The final output will follow the PRISMA-Protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 checklist. This review serves as a necessary step before conducting a systematic review and clinical studies. Childhood snoring is a common problem that can have adverse effects on a child’s health and well-being. It is importing ant for parents to understand the hazards of snoring and seek support if they suspect their child may have a sleep disorder. Treatment options vary depending on the cause and severity of snoring, and may include lifestyle changes, medication, or surgery. More research is need to better understand the relationship between environmental factors and snoring children, including the impact of pollutant such as NO2 and passive smoking. Early detection and treatment of snoring in children is crucial, as if can have long-term effects on their health and well-being. The conclusion is that knowledge empowers parents to take the necessary steps to ensure the well-being and healthy sleep of their children.

“…41 Our results align with previous studies that have reported similar age-related trends in HS prevalence. 15,28,[42][43] However, some studies have not shown a clear trend in this regard. 44 The gender difference in the prevalence of HS among children has been variable in the literature.…”

“…22,[24][25][46][47] Passive smoking has been identified as an important risk factor for HS in multiple studies. 15,22,28,[42][43]46,[48][49] Cigarette smoke induces endotoxin, resulting in a potent inflammatory reaction, mucosal swelling and increase mucous production due to goblet cell proliferation lead to nasopharyngeal narrowing. 50 Our study also found this association but no statistical significance.…”

Objective: To compare the prevalence of HS and quality of life in non-transfusion dependent thalassemia (NTDT) and Transfusion dependent thalassemia (TDT) patients and to identify risk factors associated with HS in pediatric thalassemia. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of pediatric thalassemic patients aged from 6 months - 18 years between January 2020 and October 2020, at Thammasat University Hospital, Thailand. Results: There were 141 thalassemia patients (35 TDT and 106 NTDT), aged 7 months-18 years, 73 (51.8%) were male. Sixty-eight patients (48.2%) reported snoring; 28 patients (19.9%) had HS; the remaining 40 patients (28.4%) had simple snoring. The prevalence of HS was not significantly different between TDT and NTDT group (6 (17.1%) VS 22 (20.8%); P= 0.527). Quality of life assessed by OSA-18 score was not significant difference between TDT and NTDT groups (51.3 ± 18.8 VS 45.7 ± 11.4; P=0.141). The associating risk factors for the development of HS after multivariate logistic analysis were nasal congestion, and male gender, with an adjusted OR of 5.3 and 3.0, respectively. Conclusion: Prevalence of HS was increased in children with thalassemia. Factors such as nasal congestion and male gender were strongly associated with HS in this population. The quality of life assessment using the OSA-18 questionnaire indicated that thalassemia children generally exhibited a good quality of life. Additionally, our study observed relatively low serum ferritin levels in comparison to previous studies. The standard care provided for TDT patients, includes regular blood transfusion and effective iron chelation, may contribute to slowing down the degree of nasopharyngeal narrowing in thalassemia patients.
