In this study we are evaluating if a 2-minute parent-captured smartphone video and clinical history can better predict the patient’s obstructive AHI score compared to clinical history alone. Videos and clinical history will be reviewed by 3 otolaryngologists that will try to predict the AHI score. This will be compared to the gold standard sleep study AHI score.
The nasopharynx swab test is a commonly performed procedure for diagnosis of viral upper respiratory infections. The goal of this study is to explore surface landmark measurements in children (finger length, height…) can be used to accurately predict nasopharynx depth through a simple predictive formula. This could then be used to guide healthcare professionals in obtaining reliable bedside nasopharynx swabs.
Evidence to Innovation Seed Grant 2022/23 for the study: “I took this video of my child sleeping”: Are parent-recorded smartphone videos useful in predicting the severity of sleep disordered breathing in children?
