| Popis: | Study objectives To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in children with narcolepsy and to evaluate their clinical and sleep characteristics according to the different components of MS. Methods This retrospective study consisted of 58 de novo children with narcolepsy (median age: 12.7 years, 48.3% of boys). The recently published MS criteria in a French population of children were used. Clinical and sleep characteristics were compared between groups with different components of MS. Results MS was present in 17.2% of children with narcolepsy, among whom 79.3% presented with high homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), 25.9% with high body mass index, 24.1% with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and 12.1% with high triglycerides. Patients with at least two MS components had more night eating behaviors and tended to have lower percentage of slow-wave sleep and more fragmented sleep. On multiple sleep latency test, they had shorter mean sleep latencies to rapid eye movement (REM), non-REM sleep and tended to have more sleep onset REM periods (SOREMPs) than those with less than two MS components. Conclusions Insulin resistance was found to be the core metabolic disturbance in obese as well as in nonobese children with narcolepsy. Children with narcolepsy with at least two MS components presented a more severe daytime sleepiness and a higher prevalence of night-eating behaviors than those with less than two MS components. Such children might benefit from early evaluation and management in order to prevent future complications. |
