In children, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is evaluated by overnight polysomnography (PSG) in a sleep laboratory, but these facilities are limited, and the test requires caregivers to spend a night away from home with their child. Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) is a similar test conducted in the home environment, but it is not currently used in children because it has not been directly evaluated against PSG. This trial will compare HSAT with PSG in terms of its accuracy and impact on therapeutic decision for children being evaluated for OSA, and family factors be assessed to determine if HSAT is a good alternative test to PSG.
