This study retrospectively analyzed the indications, results, and outcomes of inpatient polysomnography (PSG) in pediatric patients at SickKids, Toronto, Canada, from July 2018 to July 2021. The study showed that inpatient PSG is an important diagnostic tool that guides medical and surgical interventions. Future multicenter studies are needed to compare indications for inpatient PSGs across institutions and develop evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
BackgroundPolysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). However, the literature characterizing the indications for inpatient PSGs and the impact on clinical decision-making is limited. ObjectiveTo determine the indications, results, and outcomes for children undergoing inpatient PSGs at our institution. MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of children aged 0-18 years who underwent inpatient diagnostic PSGs between July 2018 and July 2021 at SickKids, Toronto, Canada. Baseline characteristics, indications, and management were reviewed and characterized by descriptive statistics. ResultsEighty-eight inpatient PSGs were performed in 75 children (male 62.7%). Median (interquartile range) age and body mass index z-score were 1.5 (0.2, 10.8) years and 0.27 (-1.58, 2.66), respectively. The most common indication for inpatient PSG was initiation and titration of ventilation (n = 34/75, 45.3%). Of the 75 children, 48 (64%) had multiple complex chronic conditions (CCCs). Sixty children (80%) underwent a baseline PSG for either the entire night or a portion of the night. Of these studies, 54 (90%) had clinically significant SDB of which isolated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; 17/60, 28.3%) was the most common. The following management was undertaken for the 54 patients with SDB; respiratory technology (88.9%), surgical intervention (31.5%), positional therapy (1.9%), intranasal steroids (3.7%), and no further intervention (5.6%), respectively. ConclusionsOur study highlights that inpatient PSG was an important diagnostic tool resulting in directed medical and surgical management. Future multicenter studies are needed to compare indications for inpatient PSGs across institutions to develop evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
