Early Dental Risk Screening for Pediatric Sleep-Disordered Breathing
This study is looking at how well a questionnaire (Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire or PSQ) can identify children at risk for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), in a dental office setting. You or your child would use a wearable device called the SleepImage Ring at home to measure sleep patterns. Researchers will compare these sleep measurements with the PSQ scores to see if the questionnaire is a good screening tool. The study aims to enroll 60 children between 8 and 13 years old. The main goal is to see if the PSQ can accurately predict the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (a measure of breathing pauses during sleep) over a 3-week period.
- Study design
- This is an observational study involving 60 participants. It's designed to compare questionnaire results with sleep measurements from a wearable device.
- What's involved
- Participants will complete questionnaires and have some measurements taken at a dental visit. They will then wear a home sleep monitoring ring for at least three nights over a period of up to three weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed from enrollment to the final study visit at 3 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Apnea-Hypopnea Index at 4% Desaturation, Total (events/hour)From enrollment to the final study visit at 3 weeks
Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) is an automated measure of Apnea/Hypopnea events per hour and is FDA-cleared to aid diagnosis of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) in both children and adults following the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) categorization (mild, moderate, severe). SleepImage values for AHI (sAHI) at 4% desaturation and for total events will be reported. In children, AHI \< 1.0 corresponds to no sleep apnea, AHI 1.0 to \< 5.0 corresponds to mild sleep apnea, AHI 5.0 to \< 10.0 corresponds to moderate sleep apnea, and AHI of 10 or more corresponds to severe sleep apnea. Scale starts at 0 and has no finite end point. SleepImage measured AHI will be reported (sAHI).

- Sleep Apnea IndicatorFrom enrollment to the final study visit at 3 weeks
Sleep apnea indicator (SAI) is based on detecting cardiac reaction associated with prolonged cycles of oxygen desaturation, based on Cyclic Variation of Heart Rate (CVHR) during unstable breathing (tidal volume variability in breathing) during sleep. During each apnea event, blood oxygen decreases and is accompanied by a physiological reaction of bradycardia and, when breathing resumes, a relative tachycardia; hypoxemia is thus reflected in this cardiac response and in the SleepImage output as SAI. It is based on the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's guidelines. It is categorized as mild, moderate, and severe based on threshold markers. In children, \> or = 1 is the cutoff for mild, \> or = 5 is the cutoff for moderate, and \> or = 10 is the cutoff for severe. The scale starts at 0 and has no finite end point.
- Respiratory Disturbance Index at 4% DesaturationFrom enrollment to the final study visit at 3 weeks
The SleepImage measured Respiratory Disturbance Index (sRDI, RDI) includes apnea- and hypopnea events and in addition arousals that are not related to desaturations but may disrupt sleep and cause sleep fragmentation and may therefore provide information for more comprehensive evaluation of respiratory disturbances during sleep. It is categorized as mild, moderate, and severe based on threshold markers. In children, \> or = 1 is the cutoff for mild, \> or = 5 is the cutoff for moderate, and \> or = 10 is the cutoff for severe. The scale starts at 0 and has no finite end point.

- Sleep Quality IndexFrom enrollment to the final study visit at 3 weeks
Sleep Quality Index (SQI) is a summary index of the cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) biomarkers of sleep quality, sleep stability, fragmentation, and periodicity, which provides a meaningful unit of measure of sleep health. The SQI is displayed on a scale of 0-100 with expected values for children. Greater than 70 is expected for children. 70 or less corresponds to decreased sleep quality.
