Polysomnography: Assessment of AHI index and pO2 in pediatric patients
Study summary
The aim of this prospective clinical study is to evaluate the association between the Apnoea Hypopnoea Index (AHI) and the type of malocclusion in pediatric patients with maxillary constriction. Malocclusion will be assessed through clinical examination and cephalometric analysis, which will also include an evaluation of the airway. Additionally, the study aims to assess potential changes in OSAS symptoms in patients undergoing orthopedic-orthodontic treatment with maxillary expansion. The AHI assessment will be conducted using nocturnal cardiorespiratory monitoring.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) — Baseline (T0) and after 1 year of treatment with RPE (T1)
The number of apneas and/or hypopneas per hour of recording. It is considered mild OSAS if AHI is between 1 and 5; moderate OSAS if AHI is between 5 and 10; severe OSAS if AHI is greater than 10.
