Abstract
Assessing obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in children involves various methodologies, including sleep studies, nocturnal oximetry, and clinical evaluations. Previous literature has extensively discussed these traditional methods. Despite this, there is no consensus on the optimal screening method for childhood OSA, further complicated by the complexity and limited availability of diagnostic polysomnography (PSG). Recent advancements, such as the integration of artificial intelligence, biomarkers, 3D facial photography, and wearable technology, offer promising alternatives for early detection and more accurate diagnosis of OSA in children. This article provides a comprehensive review of these innovative techniques, highlighting their potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and overcome the limitations of current methods. With an emphasis on cutting-edge technologies and emerging biomarkers, we discuss the future directions for paediatric OSA assessments and their potential to revolutionise clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews offers authors the opportunity to submit their own editorials, educational reviews and short communications on topics relevant to paediatric respiratory medicine. These peer reviewed contributions will complement the commissioned reviews which will continue to form an integral part of the journal.
Subjects covered include:
• Epidemiology
• Immunology and cell biology
• Physiology
• Occupational disorders
• The role of allergens and pollutants
A particular emphasis is given to the recommendation of "best practice" for primary care physicians and paediatricians.
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews is aimed at general paediatricians but it should also be read by specialist paediatric physicians and nurses, respiratory physicians and general practitioners.
It is a journal for those who are busy and do not have time to read systematically through literature, but who need to stay up to date in the field of paediatric respiratory and sleep medicine.
