| Short Description of Instrument |
This is the child equivalent to the Berlin Questionnaire, which was developed in 1996 at the Conference on Sleep in Primary Care in Berlin, Germany. The OSA-18 assesses the quality of life of people with sleep disordered breathing.
BorgstrÖm et al. (2013) found that the OSA-18 showed poor validity in detecting and predicting pediatric OSA.
|
| Scoring |
There are 18 items, consisting of 5 domains.
Estimated completion time is 5–10 minutes.
