Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This will be a prospective validation study of a sample of consecutive pediatric Down syndrome patients who are seen through the weekly Down syndrome clinic at OHSU/Doernbecher's. Questionnaires will be administered to approximately 5 new patients per month. Since this population has a higher prevalence of OSA than the general pediatric population, and OSA is a potentially modifiable determinant of quality of life, validated instruments are critical in assessing disease burden and response to treatment.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Questionnaires and sleep studiesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Caregivers of patients meeting eligibility criteria will be invited to participate. If they agree to participate, baseline SRBD-PSQ, OSA-18, and PedsQL questionnaires along with written informed consent forms will be mailed to them along with their standard scheduling paperwork. Caregivers will be asked to review the consent form and complete the questionnaires and bring the paperwork to clinic on the day of their visit. Sleep study testing will also be ordered prior to their visit so that it can be scheduled within a month of the initial clinic visit and again three months later.
