Polysomnography Is an Important Method for Diagnosing Pediatric Sleep Problems: Experience of One Children’s Hospital

In this study, we collected and analyzed polysomnography (PSG) data to investigate the value of PSG in diagnosing sleep problems in children. The results of PSG studies of children (<18 years old) with sleep problems conducted from April 2015 to May 2017 at a children’s hospital in Taiwan were co...

The results of PSG studies of children (<18 years old) with sleep problems conducted from April 2015 to May 2017 at a children’s hospital in Taiwan were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Data for 310 patients (209 males and 101 females) who underwent PSG were collected. The final diagnoses were as follows: obstructive sleep apnea in 159 (51.3%), snoring in 81 (26.4%), limb movement sleep disorder in 25 (8.1%), hypersomnias in 12 (3.9%), central apnea in 8 (2.9%), enuresis in 7 (2.3%), bruxism in 5 (1.6%), sleep terrors in 5 (1.6%), narcolepsy in 3 (1.0%), sleep seizures in 3 (1.0%), sleep walking in 1 (0.3%), and insomnia in 1 (0.3%). PSG may help detect significant sleep-related problems in children and is useful for making therapeutic decisions regarding children. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) was the primary sleep problem for most of the children (51.3%); however, only 7.4% of them underwent surgery for OSAS. We therefore suggest that children with sleep problems should undergo PSG.Chien-Heng LinChieh-Ho ChenSyuan-Yu HongI-Ching ChouShinn-Jye LiangLiang-Wen HangMDPI AGarticlepolysomnographyobstructive sleep apneachildrensleep disordersTaiwanPediatricsRJ1-570ENChildren, Vol 8, Iss 991, p 991 (2021)
