  "abstract": "Objectives The aim of the second stage of the study was to assess objective sleep parameters in children with paralytic syndromes using screening somnography and compare them with the indicators of children without paralytic syndromes, as well as to clarify the role of screening diagnostic methods in the early detection of sleep disorders.Methods A survey of 24 children aged 4–12 years was conducted: 12 children with paralytic syndromes (GMFCS III–V) and 12 children without paralytic syndromes. Screening somnography (monitoring of breathing, saturation, body position, heart rate) was performed in groups of children. The indicators of apnea/hypopnea, sleep fragmentation, saturation and duration of sleep stages were analyzed. Parents were also surveyed using the original questionnaire (98 questions, 7 domains)Results 83% of children with paralytic syndromes had sleep-disordered breathing (AHI index >1.5), 58% had desaturations <90% for more than 5% of total sleep time. Significant sleep fragmentation was also observed. In the control group, similar changes were not detected or were isolatedConclusions Children with paralytic syndromes have a high risk of respiratory and structural sleep disorders, which can be effectively detected even with screening somnography. It is recommended to include such studies in the multidisciplinary management of children with neuromotor disorders, as well as to develop prevention and early diagnosis protocols.",
