5) and twenty-three control subjects were studied. Their mean age was 9.4 years (SD 3.9). REE corrected for body weight for the cases and the control group were 44.83 (SD 10.49) Kcal/day and 40.71 (SD 10.60) Kcal/day respectively (p > 0.05). REE was not found to be associated with the severity of OSA (Pearson correlation r=0.34, p=0.27). Conclusion: REE was greater in OSA patients than controls but the difference was not statistically significant. " v:shapes="_x0000_s1026">1927
