Positive predictive values (PPVs) for severe OSA and negative predictive values (NPVs) for lack of severe OSA were calculated for various question combinations. The top combinations with a PPV of 100% and the highest NPV were identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The top four three\u2010question combinations, consistently among the highest NPV sets across all outcomes, achieved NPVs of 95.97% to 96.64% and PPVs of 100%. These combinations assessed the following key factors: breath\u2010holding spells, choking\/gasping, mouth breathing, aggressive\/hyperactive behavior, discipline problems, and growth delays. In univariate analysis, larger tonsils were more common in children with moderate or severe OSA, but tonsil size was not an independent predictor of severe disease in multivariable models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrates that SDB can be effectively predicted or ruled out using just three key screening questions. Incorporating these into preoperative evaluations, alongside history, physical examination, and tonsil size, may improve efficiency in clinical practice, guide PSG referral, and inform perioperative
