Summary

This trial will compare home sleep apnea testing to in-lab polysomnography to see which is more accurate, leads to better decisions about treatment, and is more acceptable to parents and children.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 5-12 who are being checked for sleep apnea at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. They need consent from a parent or guardian, and if old enough, their own agreement to participate. Kids living without parents, with breathing holes in their necks (tracheostomy), serious breathing problems during sleep, or recent sleep studies can't join.
What is being tested?
The study is looking at how well home sleep tests work compared to overnight stays at the hospital lab where they watch your child's sleep closely (polysomnography). It checks which method tells us more accurately about sleep issues, helps doctors decide on treatment better, and what kids and parents prefer.
What are the potential side effects?
There aren't any direct side effects mentioned for participating in this trial since it involves diagnostic procedures rather than medications. However, there might be some discomfort or inconvenience associated with wearing testing equipment during sleep.
