Long-term effect of growth hormone on sleep-disordered breathing in Malaysian children with Prader-Willi syndrome: a retrospective study

The effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in Malaysian children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is under-investigated. We determined (1) the short- and long-term effects of rhGH and (2) factors associated with worsening SDB in children with PWS receiving rhGH.
