ABSTRACT
In recent years, a plethora of new type III and IV portable sleep monitors (PSM) have been developed, although evidence regarding their diagnostic accuracy for use in children remains heterogeneous. This study systematically reviews the literature addressing the diagnostic accuracies of type III and IV PSM for pediatric sleep apnea. Publications indexed in Medline, Embase, or Web of Science were reviewed using the PRISMA framework. Of 1054 studies, 62 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Of the studies evaluating oximetry-based type IV PSM, one (6.25 %) demonstrated a balanced set of high (≥80 %) sensitivities and specificities for the diagnosis of any pediatric sleep apnea, while five studies (27.8 %) showed similar accuracies for moderate-to-severe sleep apnea. For non-oximetry-based type IV PSM, two studies (40 %) reported a balanced set of high diagnostic accuracies for moderate-to-severe sleep apnea. Type III PSM repeatedly demonstrated higher diagnostic accuracies, with six studies (66.7 %) reporting a balanced set of high diagnostic accuracies for moderate-to-severe sleep apnea. This review highlights the potential of type III PSM to detect moderate-to-severe pediatric sleep apnea, although current evidence is limited to support the stand-alone use of type IV PSM for the diagnosis of sleep apnea in most children.
