Case-control Study of Sleep Disorders in Children With Cystic Fibrosis

Sleep Disorders in Patients Aged From 6 to 17 With Cystic Fibrosis: a Single-center Case-control Study at Strasbourg University Hospital

Our primary purpose is to compare the prevalence of sleep disorders in children aged 6 to 17 with cystic fibrosis versus controls with a Sleep disorder screening score, the SDSC. Our hypothesis is that patients aged 6 to 17 with cystic fibrosis have a higher prevalence of sleep disturbances than the general population of the same age group.

Our secondary hypothesis is that these sleep disorders are mixed and that there are non-respiratory causes, sometimes modifiable by simple non-medical treatment and that's why our secondary purpose is to identify the responsible factors, in particular non-respiratory factors in the 2 groups and to compare them.
