Analysis of the Clinical Course of Children With Initial Negative Polysomnography
CONCLUSION: A significant minority of children who initially tested negative for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea met criteria for diagnosis on follow up PSG. Additionally, other children with initial negative PSG underwent adenotonsillectomy for worsening symptoms in lieu of repeat testing. Patients should be educated that snoring in children could persist or worsen over time, even in the setting of a initial negative PSG.PMID:38251665 | DOI:10.1177/00034894241227038
