ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine if watching a videotape that shows features of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) will improve the accuracy of a verbally administered questionnaire in the prediction of OSA in pediatric snorers. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
In a prospective single-blinded, randomized, controlled study at a pediatric clinic for sleep-disordered breathing, we studied children aged 0-18 years, who had been referred to a sleep laboratory for overnight polysomnography (PSG), and their parents from November 1999 to November 2000. The parents were randomized to answer a standard verbally administered panel of three questions (SQ) or a verbally administered panel of questions assisted by videotape (VQ).RESULTS:
The parents of 52 and 56 pediatric snorers were assigned to answer SQ and VQ, respectively. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic [ROC] curves (AUCs) for screening of OSA in patients were similar at 0.709 (95% confidence interval (CI)=0.561-0.851) for SQ and 0.714 (95% CI=0.571-0.858) for VQ. The two questionnaires had a reasonable negative predictive value to rule out the presence of OSA (VQ=0.816 and 95% CI=0.726-0.885, SQ=0.828, 95% CI=0.714-0.913).CONCLUSION:
The addition of a videotape showing important features of OSA achieved no better accuracy than a standard questionnaire.
