Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome negatively affects the cognitive function of children. This study aims to find potential biomarkers for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome in children by investigating the patterns of sleep electroencephalography networks. The participants included 16 mild obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome children, 12 severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome children, and 13 healthy controls. Effective brain networks were constructed using symbolic transfer entropy to assess cortical information interaction. The information flow pattern in the participants was evaluated using the parameters cross-within variation and the ratio of posterior-anterior information flow. Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome children had a considerably higher symbolic transfer entropy in the full frequency band of N1, N2, and rapid eye movement (REM) stages (P < 0.05), and a significantly lower symbolic transfer entropy in full frequency band of N3 stage (P < 0.005), in comparison with the healthy controls. In addition, the cross-within variation of the β frequency band across all sleep stages were significantly lower in the obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome group than in the healthy controls (P < 0.05). What is more, the posterior-anterior information flowin the β frequency band of REM stage was significantly higher in mild obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome children than in the healthy controls (P < 0.05). These findings may serve as potential biomarkers for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome in children and provide new insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms.
