Allergic sensitization and sleep in children with asthma

Esteban et al1 investigated the association between increased allergic sensitization and sleep outcomes in 196 urban schoolchildren, aged 7 to 9 years, with persistent asthma. By hierarchical regression analysis, the number of positive allergy test results significantly predicted variability in sleep efficiency. In addition, variability in forced expiratory volume in 1 second was a significant moderator in the association between number of positive allergy test results and variability in sleep efficiency.
