Abstract

There are no standardized management algorithms for neonates with Pierre Robin sequence. Currently available literature is variable in terms of outcomes assessed across studies. In this paper, we have aimed to summarize the currently available literature on longitudinal sleep and respiratory outcomes in Pierre Robin sequence neonates with a focus on identifying gaps in literature and areas for future research development.
