Discussion

Observational analysis showed high prevalence of sleep problems in children with DMD, indicating need for early screening.

Sleep problems occurred in 64.1% of children with DMD, but no significant associations with motor or pulmonary function were observed.
The mean score on the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire was 44.79, highlighting common sleep issues among participants.
Assessment using spirometry and strength tests evaluated pulmonary function and muscle strength respectively in 39 children.
Early screening for sleep problems in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy may enable timely intervention to support health.

Akar et al. (2025) studied this question.
