Home apnea monitoring and disruptions in family life: a multidimensional controlled study.

E Ahmann, L Wulff and R G Meny

Department of Maternal and Child Health, School of Hygiene and Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD.

We used data from telephone interviews and mailed questionnaires to examine 12 aspects of family life among 93 families with infants considered at high risk for sudden infant death syndrome and on home apnea monitors and a matched comparison group with infants not requiring monitoring. Using logistic regression to control confounding variables, we found that case mothers were at an increased risk of poor health, but we found no other significant differences in family life between the two groups.
