@entity1 @entity565 @entity25
@entity565 ( @entity565 ) is increasing in prevalence, affecting millions of @entity1 worldwide. In addition to being associated with increased mortality, @entity565 is associated with a decreased quality of life. @entity565 associated sleep disturbances and increased @entity25 are especially important in @entity1 due to the accompanying behavioral and developmental difficulties. As diurnal spirometry is not a practical tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of @entity565 , self or parental reports are used. @entity1 underreport and underestimate their @entity565 symptoms and parents are not fully aware of their @entity1 's @entity565 indicators. In addition, there is the lack of physician familiarity regarding the assessment and treatment of @entity565 . Therefore, @entity565 is chronically underreported. The development of a non-invasive, objective, home-based diagnostic tool is crucial in diagnosing and monitoring @entity1 with @entity565 . The presence of wheeze during sleep has been successfully employed as a tool to measure @entity565 in @entity1 . This review discusses the increasing prevalence of @entity565 , current diagnostic tools and the consequences of undiagnosed @entity565 in @entity1 . In conclusion, this paper suggests that an automated wheeze detective device is an objective and practical tool to aid the diagnosis and monitoring of @entity565 .
