OBJECTIVE: We previously found that financial concerns negatively affect the quality of life of families of children with persistent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after tonsillectomy. The goal is to quantify the financial impact on families of children with persistent OSA and assess contributing factors.
STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey study with comparison group.
SETTING: Upper airway center at a tertiary pediatric hospital.
METHODS: Participants included consecutive children with persistent OSA from September to October 2017. Healthy children seen in a general otolaryngology clinic served as controls. Families of both groups completed the Family Impact Questionnaire and the modified Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST).
RESULTS: Families of the 50 patients (25 study and 25 control) completed the surveys: the mean age was 6.4 years (95% CI, 5.0-7.8), and 19 (38%) were female. There were no differences in age, sex, race, or insurance status between groups (P > .05). The mean apnea-hypopnea index for the study group was 7.9 events/h (range, 5.5-10.3), and 40% (10/25) had Down syndrome. Positive airway pressure and/or oxygen were used by 72% (18/25). The Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity for study patients (21.9; 95% CI, 14.8-26.0) was significantly lower than for controls (30.2; 95% CI, 26.6-30.8; P = .003), reflecting elevated financial toxicity. Study families reported greater financial impact on the Family Impact Questionnaire (8.4; 95% CI, 6.1-10.7) versus controls (3.6; 95% CI, 1.8-5.4; P = .002); concerns regarding missed days of work and school were common (30.7%).
CONCLUSION: Families of children with persistent OSA reported a high financial burden related to their children's disease and were more likely to report financial toxicity than families of controls. Concern regarding missed work and school associated with appointments and treatment was a significant factor.
