Previous studies have shown low rates of screening for obstructive sleep apnea in children with Down syndrome (DS), a high-prevalence population. Our study investigated the impact of the 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines, which recommends screening for obstructive sleep apnea with polysomnogram by age 4 years. We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients 0 to 18 years of age with DS seen at a medical center between 2006 and 2016. Polysomnogram screening frequency was investigated and compared pre- and post-guideline publication. A total of 136 participants were identified. Thirty-two percent (44/136) of children with DS were referred for polysomnogram, all of whom had symptoms. Although overall referral frequency was unaffected, completion frequency by age 18 years improved after publication (30% [21/69] vs 19% [13/67]; P <.05). Notably, polysomnogram completion frequency by age 4 years improved after guidelines publication compared with prior (25% [17/69] vs 0% [0/67]; P <.0001). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
