OSA-18 in Children With Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Can it be a Helpful Decision Making Tool?

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Apnea, Obstructive Sleep, Obstructive Sleep Apnea

In brief

The concept is a novel research idea that incorporates the potential impact of patient quality of life (QOL) on decision-making for treatment of mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our hypothesis is that in children with mild OSA there is significant conflict with parental decision-making; in the absence of significant sleep apnea, there is limited research regarding comparative efficacy of various treatment options. The impact of a QOL questionnaire can be a significant deciding factor and may help guide management decisions in such situations.
