Retrospective analysis identifies oxygen saturation levels indicating hypoxaemia in children with chronic diseases.

Oxygen saturation ≤95% indicates hypoxaemia and correlates with pulmonary function test abnormalities.
In a cohort of 2641 children, the prevalence of SpO 2 <98% was 4.3%, mostly in those with chronic respiratory conditions.
The study utilized arterial blood gas analyses and pulse oximetry recordings to define hypoxaemia thresholds.
Findings support the diagnosis of chronic respiratory insufficiency using repeated SpO 2 measurements and oximetry.

Beydon et al. (2025) studied this question.
