The diagnosis of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea begins with a detailed history and physical examination followed by a diagnostic nocturnal polysomnogram, which continues to be the gold standard. TheInternational classification of sleep disorders second edition(ICSD-2) diagnostic criteria for pediatric ...
Based on the criteria of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) manual for the scoring of sleep and associated events, we scored every 30 s epoch of PSG. Apnea was defined as the complete cessation of airflow (≥ 90%) for at least 10 s. Hypopnea was constantly defined by air...

Diagnosis Aetna considers the following tests medically necessary for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults aged 18 years and older when criteria are met: Attended Full-Channel Nocturnal Polysomnography (NPSG) Attended full-channel nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG) (Type I device) performed ...
Thus, what is mild OSA according to pediatric criteria is normal according to adult criteria, and what is severe OSA in a child could be mild OSA in an adult. As pediatric patients enter puberty and post-puberty, the adult criteria may be better suited for them than the pediatric criteria...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious medical condition with a high prevalence, although diagnosis remains a challenge. Existing home sleep tests may provide acceptable diagnosis performance but have shown several limitations. In this retrospective study, we used 12,923 polysomnography recordings fr...
