The Accuracy of Portable Sleep Monitoring for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
The goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of a portable sleep monitor to detect obstructive sleep apnea in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The main study objectives are to:
1. Evaluate the correlation between the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) on a portable sleep monitor and an in-laboratory polysomnogram (PSG); 2. Determine the sensitivity and specificity of a portable sleep monitor to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); 3. Evaluate patient and family preferences for sleep testing.
Inclusion: Children between 6 to 18 years of age, AND; Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, AND; Children who will be undergoing a polysomnogram (PSG) for the first time, AND; Caregiver willing to complete questionnaires about child's sleep and behavior.
Exclusion: Children who are currently using respiratory therapy; Children who have previously completed a PSG; Caregiver unwilling to complete questionnaires about child's sleep and behavior.
