Brief summary

This clinical trial will compare the diagnostic accuracy of type II HSAT with PSG for determining OSA status following treatment with adenotonsillectomy in children

Detailed description

Many children have residual obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) following adenotonsillectomy, but in-lab polysomnography (PSG), the recommended means of re-evaluating these patients, is resource-intensive and availability is limited. Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT), a similar test performed in the patient's home and used clinically in adults, may offer an alternative means of evaluating the effect of OSA treatment in children and make testing more convenient and widely available.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTHome sleep apnea test

Level II home sleep apnea testing evaluates for obstructive sleep apnea in the home environment with parental supervision.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTPSG

Overnight sleep study in the sleep laboratory with continuous monitoring by clinical staff.

Masking description

The investigators will be masked as to the order of the two sleep tests

Intervention model description

Participants will be randomized to the initial test (home sleep apnea test or polysomnography) and then complete the alternate test within approximately one week.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Correlation between obstructive apnea hypopnea index (OAHI) by HSAT vs PSGup to one monthCorrelation will be assessed in all participants completing PSG and HSAT using the OAHI from both tests

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Correlation between OAHI from HSAT and score from OSA questionnairesup to one monthCorrelation between OAHI from HSAT will be measured by completion of the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire-Sleep Related Breathing Disorders scale (PSQ-SRBD) and OSA-18 Questionnaire. . The PSQ-SRBD is a 22-item questionnaire where a score of \>0.33 is consistent with a diagnosis of OSA. The OSA-18 consists of 18 questions for which the overall total scores will assess for OSA risk. Total scores range from 18 to 126, with 18 indicating low risk of OSA and 126 indicating high risk of OSA.
Parent-reported preference between HSAT and PSGup to one monthParent-reported preference between HSAT and PSG will be measured by the parents' completion of the preference questionnaire after completion of both studies. The questionnaire contains 5 questions for which the overall score will assess for preference. Total scores range from 5 to 10, with 5 indicating a strong preference for HSAT and 10 indicating a low preference for HSAT.
Child-reported preference between HSAT and PSGup to one monthChild-reported preference between HSAT and PSG will be measured by the child's completion of the preference questionnaire after completion of both studies. The questionnaire contains 5 questions for which the overall score will assess for preference. Total scores range from 5 to 10, with 5 indicating a strong preference for HSAT and 10 indicating a low preference for HSAT.
Parent-reported acceptability of HSATup to one month.Parent-reported acceptability of HSAT will be measures by the parents' completion of the acceptability questionnaire after completion of both studies. The questionnaire contains 4 questions for which the overall score will assess for preference. Total scores range from 4 to 20, with 4 indicating a strong preference for HSAT and 20 indicating a low preference for HSAT.
