Respiratory polygraphy data of children investigated for sleep-disordered breathing with different congenital or respiratory diseases.

ABSTRACT: This short report describes respiratory indices of polygraphies (PG) performed to investigate several sleep-related disorders of breathing in children. It refers to the work of Michelet et al., Successful home respiratory polygraphy to investigate sleep-disordered breathing in children, Sleep Medicine [1]. Indications for PGs were grouped according to 6 categories: craniofacial malformation, neuromuscular disease, obesity, suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), prematurity, and other. The reported data concern the initial interpretable PGs (N = 289); initial was defined as performed for the first time in any subject. Non-interpretability was defined as absent or unreliable oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO₂), and/or airflow and respiratory inductance plethysmogra
