In 2007 the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) published polysomnography (PSG) scoring guidelines, which were updated in 2012. A key change in terms of scoring respiratory events in children was the threshold for reduction in airflow (50% vs 30%) for the definition of hypopnea. This study aimed to determine the impact of different scoring rules on the assessment of severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children.
