Polysomnographic versus Parent-reported Predictors of Executive Function in Children with Sleep Disordered Breathing

Key Points

• The aim is to compare parent-reported symptoms with polysomnographic (PSG) data as predictors of executive function in children with sleep disordered breathing.
• Comparison of parent-reported symptoms and PSG indices
• Usage of validated questionnaires to assess neurobehavioral outcomes
• Evaluation of the relationship between symptom burden and executive function
• Parent symptoms are stronger predictors of executive dysfunction than PSG indices
• Traditional PSG metrics do not correlate with executive function deficits
• Validated questionnaires closely align with neurobehavioral morbidity
• Symptom burden significantly informs surgical decision-making
