Video clips showed an 81.2% sensitivity for detecting any obstructive sleep apnea and 100% sensitivity for moderate-severe cases, indicating effectiveness in diagnosis.
The study analyzed 41 children through video recordings and polysomnography, comparing the diagnostic accuracy of video clips and the pediatric sleep questionnaire.
Assessment using the Monash obstructive sleep apnea score alongside oximetry metrics demonstrated improved diagnostic characteristics, yielding an AUC of 98.3.
The findings highlight the potential for video clips as a supplementary tool for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea screening, although they are less accurate than oximetry.
