This is a prospective, cross-sectional observational study designed to evaluate the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) as a screening tool for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) risk in a pediatric dental setting. Children aged 8-13 years will be classified as low- or high-risk for SDB based on PSQ scores and compared using physiologic sleep parameters obtained from a wearable, FDA-cleared home sleep monitoring device, alongside psychosocial assessments and craniofacial measurements derived from lateral cephalometric radiographs. Findings will inform the feasibility and accuracy of incorporating validated SDB screening into routine pediatric dental care.
This study is a prospective, cross-sectional, single-site observational cohort study conducted in a pediatric dental clinic setting. Children aged 8-13 years receiving care at the University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry Pediatric Dentistry Clinic will be screened for SDB risk using the PSQ and classified into low-risk or high-risk groups based on established PSQ scoring thresholds. Following eligibility confirmation and informed consent/assent, enrolled participants will complete all study procedures over a period of up to three weeks. Group classification is determined at enro…
