Conclusion
The sleep problem of the majority of the children (51.3%) in this study
was OSAS; however, only 7.4% of the total pediatric patients in the
study underwent surgery for OSAS, even though some of the children with
OSAS underwent surgery without undergoing PSG. We thus suggest that
children with sleep problems should all undergo PSG studies, as PSG
could help to detect significant sleep-related problems, and the
application of PSG results is useful for making therapeutic decisions
regarding children.
