Assessment of different screening tools depending on OSAH severity.

AIH-OSAS severity	PSQ	PE	CE	Pulse oximetry	Global evaluation
>3 mild OSAH	S 96%	S 100%	S 95%	S 77%	S 62%
	E 36.8%	E 40%	E 58%	E 92%	E 98%

PSQ: Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire, PE: physical exam, CE: clinical evaluation (PSQ and PE both positive) global evaluation: CE and pulse oximetry positive AIH: apnea-hypopnea index.
