Role of overnight oximetry in assessing the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea in typically developing children: a multicentre study

Conclusion
Raised ODI3 and ODI4 predict OSA in TD children with high specificity but variable sensitivity. NPO may be an alternative to diagnose moderate-severe OSA if access to CRP is limited. Low sensitivities to detect mild OSA mean that confirmatory CRP is needed if NPO is normal.
