All children completed a questionnaire and underwent physical examination and polysomnography (PSG). The cases were separated into OSAS and primary snoring (PS) groups. Factors associated with these two groups were analyzed, with risk factors significantly associated with OSAS then being identified through logistic regression analyses. OSAS was further subdivided into mild, moderate, and severe subgroups, with correlations between risk factors and OSAS severity then being analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In total, 1,550 children were included in the present study, of which 852 and 698 were enrolled in the OSAS and PS groups. In univariate analyses, obesity, family passive smoking, a family history of snoring, allergic rhinitis, asthma, adenoid hypertrophy, and tonsil hypertrophy were all related to pediatric OSAS (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.05).
