Abstrakt:	A report from the Khoo Teck Puat-National University Children's Medical Institute in Singapore discusses the prevalence and complications of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children and adolescents with obesity. The report highlights the importance of appropriate screening and intervention for OSA in managing obesity in children. The researchers conducted a scoping review of international and national guidelines on pediatric obesity and pediatric OSA management and found inconsistent recommendations on OSA screening. They provide their own recommendations, including clinical-based screening for OSA in children with a high body mass index (BMI) or rapid BMI gain, and the use of overnight polysomnography for diagnosis. The report emphasizes the need for a screening strategy to improve cardiometabolic and neurocognitive outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
