No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to see if mobile video clips (smartphone recordings) can be used to screen children with Down syndrome to identify those at highest risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), so they can be prioritized for an earlier sleep study. Parents will be asked to record short video clips of their child sleeping, and then rate whether they think their child has OSA. Later, children will undergo a sleep study to compare to the ratings.

Conditions

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Video clip assessment

Parents will take short video clips of their child sleeping at night. They will be asked to review the video clips and rate whether they think their child has obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and if so, how severe it is. Two clinicians will review the video clips on a separate night.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Polysomnography (sleep study)

Children will undergo a polysomnography as the gold standard test to assess for OSA.

OTHER

Educational webinar

After evaluating the video clips of their child sleeping, parents will watch an educational webinar on OSA in children with Down syndrome and how to recognize symptoms.
