Conclusion

This study demonstrates the reliability of a clinical score calculated from 30 minute-sleep video recordings for the diagnosis of moderate to severe OSAHS, consolidating Sivan et al previous reports. In addition to sleep questionnaire such as the SHS, it could allow a better evaluation of type 1 OSAHS, thus restricting the need for sleep recording.
We were also able to assess this clinical score on a shorter timeframe (RS10), more compatible with an everyday practice. Consequently, we have set up a prospective multicenter study to assess this RS10 applied to home sleep video recordings in children with suspected OSDB and AT hypertrophy: “SMARTSAS: Screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Smartphone Homemade Video in Childhood Snoring Population (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03743558).
