Validation of the Greek OSD-6 quality of life questionnaire in children undergoing polysomnography
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveOSD-6 is a disease specific questionnaire for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aims of this study were to validate OSD-6 in Greek language and correlate OSD-6 with polysomnography results.Study designProspective study.SettingTertiary referral center.Subjects and methodsOSD-6 questionnaire was translated to Greek and back to English. A prospective study was conducted on children undergoing overnight polysomnography due to snoring and disrupted sleep. Test–retest evaluation was carried out. Internal consistency and test–retest reliability were evaluated. Validity was assessed by exploring correlations between OSD-6 scores and apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), and by comparing total scores of OSA and non-OSA groups. Responsiveness was assessed by comparing preoperative to postoperative total scores in OSA children who underwent adenotonsillectomy.ResultsTest–retest evaluation of 91 subjects showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha 0.860 for test and 0.873 for retest) and reliability (Pearson’s correlation coefficients between test and retest scores: 0.751–0.546; p < 0.01). Total and domains’ OSD-6 scores and AHI were significantly correlated (Spearman’s correlation coefficients: 0.277–0.630; p < 0.01), while children with OSA had higher total OSD-6 score than those without OSA (median (interquartile range): 16 (11) vs. 10 (7), respectively; p < 0.01), indicating good validity. Postoperative OSD-6 scores were significantly lower than preoperative (2.84 ± 3.21 vs. 15.42 ± 6.48, respectively; p < 0.001), suggesting good responsiveness.ConclusionThe Greek version of the OSD-6 questionnaire proved to be a valid instrument with satisfactory internal consistency, reliability, validity and responsiveness. Furthermore, in our study OSD-6 was significantly correlated to polysomnography results.
