“…16,17 However, in our school children, only in 2% which is much lower than that reported from China where 9.8% school children had frequent night awakenings. 18 This again could be due to dietary factors and environmental conditions like temperature which have a direct or indirect effect on sleep habits.…”

Background: Children differ in their sleep pattern from adults and within their developmental age groups. Good sleep habits help them in better sleep outcomes. Inadequate sleep can contribute to various health issues. Hence, this study was carried out to find out sleep pattern in children and identify factors affecting it so that suitable measures can be taken to ensure good sleep hygiene in children.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study done in children aged 1-12 years. Every 5th child who attended OPD were included. Children who were very sick or had chronic illness or pain were excluded. Details pertaining to sleep was recorded after written parental consent.Results: The total sample size was 650. The mean age was 6.25±3.2 years. The mean bed time and wake up time was 9.18 pm±(1.02) and 6.41 am±(0.85) respectively. The mean night sleep duration was 9.38±1.05 hours. Co-sleeping was 97.5%. Sleep problem was seen in 51.1%. Screen time >2 hours contributed to late bedtime and insomnia. Reduced physical activity/exercise was significantly associated with sleep problems.Conclusions: Sleep problems and poor sleep habits are common among children. Increased screen time and reduced physical activities in children contribute to poor sleep habits and sleep problem.

“…For these reasons, it is one of the most used and validated screening tools, appearing at least as effective as or better than PSG (polysomnography) [1,5,6]. The inclusion of PSQ in the European guidelines and its use in many literature articles that have translated and rewritten the questions in different languages has made PSQ the most suitable questionnaire in the last twenty years, according to the literature [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome Screening: Is Sleep Quality Worthy of Note?

et al. 2021

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is the most severe condition on the spectrum of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs). The Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) is one of the most used and validated screening tools, but it lacks the comprehensive assessment of some determinants of OSAS, specifically anamnestic assessment and sleep quality. This study aims to assess the accuracy of some specific items added to the original PSQ, particularly related to the patient’s anamnestic history and to the quality of sleep, for the screening of OSAS in a paediatric population living in Sicily (Italy). Fifteen specific items, divided into “anamnestic” and “related to sleep quality” were added to the original PSQ. The whole questionnaire was administered via a digital form to the parents of children at 4 schools (age range: 3–13 years). For each item, sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and positive and negative likelihood ratios were calculated. The highest sensitivity (80.0, 95% CI: 28.4; 99.5), in combination with the highest specificity (61.1, 95% CI: 35.7; 82.7), was found for the Item 32 (“assumption of bizarre or abnormal positions during sleep”). This item was found statistically significant for predicting the occurrence of OSAS in children (p-value ≤0.003). The study demonstrates the accuracy of specific items related to sleep quality disturbance for the preliminary assessment of the disease. Although these results should be validated on a larger sample of subjects, they suggest that including the factors discriminating sleep quality could further increase the efficiency and accuracy of PSQ.

“…For example, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which has a prevalence of 9.3% among adults and 7.5% among children, has been found to be a risk factor for metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, stroke, and cognitive impairment. [ 1 2 3 ] Interestingly, treatment of OSA has been found to improve sleep, mood, cognition, glycemic control, and blood pressure. [ 4 5 6 7 ]…”

“…[ 24 25 26 ] Further, as discussed above, OSA is associated with a number of negative health outcomes, including the metabolic, cardiovascular, decline in quality of life, and at times either mitigate or pave the way for psychiatric disorders. [ 1 2 3 28 ] Timely recognition and optimal management of OSA can improve these health conditions and also prevent negative health effects. [ 4 5 6 7 ] Hence, authors feel that the inclusion of sleep medicine topics in the medical undergraduate curriculum will be instrumental in providing help to a large chunk of patients suffering from these disorders.…”

Objective: The aim is to study the knowledge and attitude of medical undergraduate students regarding obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 324 medical undergraduate students in clinical semesters. Knowledge and attitude regarding adult OSA were assessed using the obstructive sleep apnea knowledge and attitude (OSAKA), and to evaluate the same about childhood OSA, OSAKA-KIDS was used. Results: Results showed that the study population was not informed about OSA among adults as well as kids. Most of the participants could recognize that snoring was a common symptom of adult OSA but failed to identify the association between childhood OSA and hyperactivity. The participants had a good knowledge about the pathophysiology of OSA. More than 80% of students reported that OSA is an important disorder and that these patients should be identified. Conclusion: Medical undergraduates are poorly informed about OSA.
