The results indicate a weak correlation of sleep disorders (minimum SpO2) with HRV parameters (LH/HF) in children and adolescents with CF. When pulmonary function was reduced, a stronger correlation was found, highlighting the influence of disease severity. A high prevalence of ANS disorders, nocturnal hypoxemia, and presence of OSAS was also found.
