The role of nocturnal pulse oximetry in the screening for obstructive sleep apnea in obese children and adolescents

Highlights • The efficacy of oximetry was assessed in an obese pediatric population. • Oximetry was less reliable in obese children in comparison to a normal-weight population. • The agreement between polysomnography (PSG) and oximetry diminished with more severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). • Oxi...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • The efficacy of oximetry was assessed in an obese pediatric population. • Oximetry was less reliable in obese children in comparison to a normal-weight population. • The agreement between polysomnography (PSG) and oximetry diminished with more severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). • Oximetry alone was insufficient as a screening tool for OSA in obese children.
