Home Sleep Testing in Young Children	2020-10-17		.txt	text/plain	2089	92	42	The gold standard for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children is in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG), and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that polysomnography be performed in children with snoring and symptoms or signs of OSA (1) . The field's focus on this tool for evaluating OSA (as well as evaluating other sleep disorders) reflects the ability of PSG to comprehensively collect physiological data on respiration, sleep, heart rate, and leg movements in controlled settings where issues of sensor loss can be readily addressed. Although home-based sleep apnea testing is widely used in adults to diagnose OSA, its use in children has been much more limited, reflecting concerns about the safety and feasibility of collecting multiple respiratory signals in this population. Importantly, the average duration of sleep monitored was 573 minutes, a period likely to provide representative sleep data for young children, and substantially longer than total sleep time reported from attended PSGs (5, 6) .	./cache/cord-316356-xq9bw349.txt	./txt/cord-316356-xq9bw349.txt
