Validation of the screening tool ApneaLink® in comparison to polysomnography for the diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing in children and adolescents

While out-of-center testing was introduced as an alternative for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea in adults, polysomnography (PSG) is still considered mandatory in the diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children. The purpose of this study was to validate the outpatient screening device ApneaLink® in comparison to PSG in children and adolescents for the diagnosis of SDB.
