    Adaptation to Life in the High Andes: Nocturnal Oxyhemoglobin Saturation in Early Development
    (Oxford University Press, 2016) Catherine M. Hill; Ana Bayá; Johanna Gavlak; Annette Carroll; Kate Heathcote; Dagmara Dimitriou; Veline L’Esperance; Rebecca J. Webster; John W. Holloway; Javier Virúes‐Ortega
    Physiological adaptation to high-altitude living in native Andeans is unlikely to compensate for the significant differences we observed between diurnal and nocturnal oxyhemoglobin saturation, most marked in infancy. This vulnerability to sleep-related hypoxia in early childhood has potential lifespan implications. Future studies should characterize the sleep- related respiratory physiology underpinning our observations.

    Polysomnography in Bolivian Children Native to High Altitude Compared to Children Native to Low Altitude
    (Oxford University Press, 2016) Catherine M. Hill; Annette Carroll; Dagmara Dimitriou; Johanna Gavlak; Kate Heathcote; Veline L’Esperance; Ana Bayá; Rebecca J. Webster; Maria Pushpanathan; Romola S. Bucks
    HA native Andean children have more respiratory events when scoring relies on SpO2 desaturation due to inherent SpO2 instability. Use of American Academy of Sleep Medicine scoring criteria may yield false-positive results for obstructive sleep-disordered breathing at HA.
