BACKGROUND: The incidence of pediatric sleep disordered breathing has increased in the last decade because of many factors, such as childhood obesity, metabolic syndrome, and access to better diagnostic methods. OSA peaks between 2 and 8 years in children. Early diagnosis is recommended to prevent long-term complications. While PSG is the gold standard for diagnosis, it may not be feasible in certain circumstances; hence, HSAT is now being increasingly used to screen and diagnose OSA.
METHODS: This review was conducted using the methodology in the "Cochrane handbook on systematic reviews". PRISMA flowchart was used to report the results. The risk of bias assessment was done using the "Cochrane handbook for systematic review reviews tool for Interventional studies". All studies were analysed using the Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal tool.
RESULTS: A total of nine studies were included in this review. Of these, only three studies employed simultaneous HSAT and PSG testing to evaluate the validity of HSAT indices. In one of the largest studies comparing HSAT with PSG, the mean AHI observed was 2.5 ± 3 for HSAT and 2.7 ± 2.9 for PSG (p > 0.05), indicating that the diagnostic yields of both methods were nearly equivalent. In studies utilizing HSAT alone, the mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ranged from 0.8 to 10.3 events per hour in healthy children, compared to 2.2 to 13 events per hour in children with Down syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: Diagnosing sleep disordered breathing in children can be challenging in a laboratory setting. HSAT is cost-effective and better tolerated in the younger population compared to PSG. It is a reliable alternative to PSG when used with multiple channels, including EEG and capnography.
