Abstract
This pilot study demonstrated differences between home sleep testing and in-lab polysomnography for the diagnosis of pediatric sleep apnea. These differences were predominantly found to exist in younger children. Larger prospective studies are needed prior to widespread use, but home studies may alleviate issues of access to care and higher costs of laboratory polysomnography.
