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).
