I am interested to see if there has been documented links established
between Attention Deficit Disorder, Epilepsy & Sleep Apnea.  I am
looking for reports, articles, studies, etc. that tie all three
conditions together.

Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 01 Nov 2004 13:23 PST

Hello hipraiser-ga,

I'm glad to see you decided to split up your questions!

As to this current question, there are a fair number of studies that
discuss individuals who have both ADD and epilepsy, and a few dozen
more that discuss the overlap between ADD and sleep apnea.

However, I saw only two studies that actually mentioned all three, and
these theree conditions were not necessarily combined in a single
patient.

Some more digging MAY turn up some additional studies on any
ADD-epilepsy-apnea connections, but I wouldn't count on it.

Would you like me to summarize the information on the literature that
is available on the connections between 2-out-of-3, and 3-out-of-3 of
these conditions?  Or is the information base just too meager to be
worth your while?

Let me know what you think.

I really wanted to see all the conditions tied together.  I understand
that may not be available.  Please provide me with ALL the sources you
dug up (especially the studies that mention all three condtions)and we
will call it a day.

hipraiser-ga,

Actually, let's leave this question open for a while.

Perhaps another researcher will be able to find the types of studies
you're most interested in...I'd hate to post an answer that doesn't
really meet your needs.

Let's see what happens....
