Using Personal Mobile Technology to Identify Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children With Down Syndrome (UPLOAD)
Sponsor: Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario
Summary
This study aims to see if mobile video clips (smartphone recordings) can be used to screen children with Down syndrome to identify those at highest risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), so they can be prioritized for an earlier sleep study. Parents will be asked to record short video clips of their child sleeping, and then rate whether they think their child has OSA. Later, children will undergo a sleep study to compare to the ratings.

Interventions
Video clip assessment
Parents will take short video clips of their child sleeping at night. They will be asked to review the video clips and rate whether they think their child has obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and if so, how severe it is. Two clinicians will review the video clips on a separate night.
Polysomnography (sleep study)
Children will undergo a polysomnography as the gold standard test to assess for OSA.
Educational webinar
After evaluating the video clips of their child sleeping, parents will watch an educational webinar on OSA in children with Down syndrome and how to recognize symptoms.
