This study is a 5-year follow-up of a clinic-based sleep intervention study that randomized 100 toddlers and preschool-age children with epilepsy to a usual care group or a sleep intervention group. The intervention group received standard paediatric neurology care plus three education sessions during the child's routine clinic visit. The outcomes measured were: (1) child sleep by actigraphy and parental report; and (2) maternal sleep and depression. We aimed to evaluate the long-term benefits of a clinic-based sleep intervention for paediatric epilepsy. In total, 42 families (42.0%) participated. The average child's age at follow-up was 9.55 years. Thirty-eight (90.5%) children were not obtaining sufficient sleep at baseline, and 40 (95.2%) at the 5-year follow-up. The numbers of children with clinically significant sleep disturbances were 40 (95.2%) at baseline and 36 (85.7%) at the 5-year follow-up. Fourteen mothers (33.3%) had poor sleep quality and high depressive symptoms at both assessment time points. There were no differences (P > 0.05) in the child and maternal outcomes between the two trial arms. Overall, there was no evidence that a clinic-based sleep intervention that effectively improved multiple aspects of sleep in toddlers and preschool-age children with epilepsy had long-lasting beneficial effects. Our findings suggest that sleep interventions for families of children with epilepsy require ongoing reinforcement and monitoring during routine paediatric neurology care to prevent sleep problems from persisting or recurring. |
