This narrative review provides an overview of the current approaches utilised in the diagnosis of SDB in children. Diagnostic methods for SDB in children involve a combination of clinical assessment, medical history evaluation, questionnaires, and objective measurements. Polysomnography (PSG) is the diagnostic gold standard. It records activity of brain and tibial and submental muscles, heart rhythm, eye movements, oximetry, oronasal airflow, abdominal and chest movements, body position. Despite its accuracy, it is a time-consuming and expensive tool. Respiratory polygraphy instead monitors cardiorespiratory function without simultaneously assessing sleep and wakefulness; it is more affordable than PSG, but few paediatric studies compare these techniques and there is optional recommendation in children. Nocturnal oximetry is a simple and accessible exam that has high predictive value only for children at high risk. The daytime nap PSG, despite the advantage of shorter duration and lower costs, is not accurate for predicting SDB. Few paediatric data support the use of home testing during sleep. Finally, laboratory biomarkers and radiological findings are potentially useful hallmarks of SDB, but further investigations are needed to standardise their use in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10081331","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,1]],"date-time":"2023-08-01T09:06:44Z","timestamp":1690880804000},"page":"1331","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Diagnosis of Paediatric Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing beyond Polysomnography"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Melissa","family":"Borrelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Translational Medical Sciences, Paediatric Pulmonology, Federico II University, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adele","family":"Corcione","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Translational Medical Sciences, Paediatric Pulmonology, Federico II University, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Cimbalo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Translational Medical Sciences, Paediatric Pulmonology, Federico II University, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Annunziata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intensive Cure, Unit of Respiratory Pathophysiology, Monaldi Hospital, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Basilicata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Translational Medical Sciences, Paediatric Pulmonology, Federico II University, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2523-9769","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Fiorentino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intensive Cure, Unit of Respiratory Pathophysiology, Monaldi Hospital, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9375-7429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesca","family":"Santamaria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Translational Medical Sciences, Paediatric Pulmonology, Federico II University, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1183\/13993003.00385-2015","article-title":"Obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing in 2- to 18-Year-Old Children: Diagnosis and Management","volume":"47","author":"Kaditis","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eur.
