Abstrakt: Objective: To compare the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) and a less time-consuming set of 6 hierarchically arranged questions (6Q) as they relate to the pre-test probability for sleep apnea in pediatric patients.
Methods: Parents of 116 subjects between the ages of 7 and 17 answered two sleep questionnaires (the PSQ and the 6Q) distributed in random order before the subjects had sleep studies. Correlation coefficients were used for apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) prediction, while the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated for sleep apnea classification prediction.
Results: The 6Q showed statistical significance, while the more commonly used PSQ did not, both in terms of correlating with AHI (rho = 0.294, p = 0.001) and predicting moderate and severe sleep apnea (AUC = 0.650 and 0.788, respectively).
Conclusion: Although additional field validation is required, these pediatric sleep questionnaires are sensitive and easy-to-use screening tools that can greatly help in the screening for pediatric sleep apnea.
