The Canadian Thoracic Society/Canadian Sleep Society Guideline on the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea in children

Access to polysomnography, the recommended standard for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children, is limited in many jurisdictions. Many children undergo treatment for OSA without confirmatory testing, are denied treatment in the absence of testing, or have a delay in treatment of other sleep disorders until OSA can be ruled out.
