The prevalence of sleep apnea is high, and significant adverse effects are associated with this. Hence, the current study assessed the prevalence of sleep apnea in Rajanagaram Mandal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A sample of 1289 children aged 6\u201312 years was selected from the primary schools of Rajanagaram Mandal. Validated screening questionnaires, including the FAIREST and BEARS tools, were used to assess the presence and severity of OSA. BEARS questionnaire contained five preformed questions, and the FAIREST questionnaire had six red flags that were evaluated. The cases were classified as mild, moderate, and severe. Using the Chi-square test, inferential statistics were obtained.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A prevalence of about 5.7% was observed among the 1289 children.
