Assessment of Central Sleep Apnea Events in Children with Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Figure 2

Distribution of central sleep apnea severity in children with sleep disordered breathing is shown. Severity of central sleep apnea (CSA) varied among the patients with no obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), mild OSA, moderate OSA, and severe OSA. Children with no OSA, mild OSA, or moderate OSA did not have severe CSA. Severe CSA occurred in children with severe OSA.
