Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea in newborns and infants presents a unique challenge with distinct differences in sleep physiology, etiologies, and management compared to older children. The indications for and interpretation of polysomnography are less well defined in infants. There are also no broadly accepted clinical practice guidelines for treating sleep apnea in this age group. Etiologies include general causes of upper airway obstruction in infants such as laryngomalacia, micrognathia, and nasal obstruction in addition to adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Treatment strategies must be tailored to the specific anatomic features and comorbidities of the specific patients and often require a multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a consensus international pediatric sleep endoscopy scale (IPSES) for pediatric drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). METHODS Existing published DISE ratings scales were reviewed in order to develop a consensus rating scale synthesizing the most common features and adding new elements to address areas of controversy. Samples of 30 de-identified DISE video recordings were reviewed to develop and refine the scale. After the consensus scale was defined, a separate sample of 25 de-identified DISE videos were scored with the new consensus scale by the development group and a panel of independent raters. A weighted kappa statistic was used to quantify the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the consensus scale at each anatomic level. RESULTS Among all raters, intra-rater reliability was most variable for the nasal airway (kappa range 0.33-0.94) and best for the lateral oropharynx (kappa range 0.68-0.95). Inter-rater reliability ranged from 0.43 for the nasal airway to 0.57 at the soft palate. CONCLUSION The IPSES is a reliable consensus scale that reflects the most common features of existing scales and can be adopted as a universal scoring scale for pediatric DISE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Abstract
Importance Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is increasingly used to guide treatment decisions in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Previous reports of DISE findings in children have typically included a broad age range, but it is unclear how these patterns of obstruction vary with age. Objective To compare patterns of airway obstruction observed during DISE in 3 age groups of surgically naive children with SDB. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional analysis of a prospective cohort of surgically naive nonsyndromic children with SDB or obstructive sleep apnea [OSA] at risk for residual disease after adenotonsillectomy (defined as having at least 1 of these criteria: severe OSA, older than 7 years, obesity, or Black race) who were recruited between May 1, 2015, and February 28, 2020, was conducted at a tertiary children's hospital. Data analysis was conducted from September 2021 to February 2022. Exposures DISE. Main Outcomes and Measures DISE findings were rated at 6 anatomic sites using the Sleep Endoscopy Rating Scale (SERS). The association between age and severity of obstruction at each anatomic site and overall were compared using correlation (Kendall τ) and ordinal logistic regression analysis. Results Data from 288 children (144 girls [50%]; 20 American Indian/Alaska Native [7%], 4 Asian [1%], 19 Black [7%], 93 Hispanic [33%], 2 Middle Eastern [1%], 6 Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander [2%], and 203 White [70%] individuals; median [IQR] age, 9.2 [7.0-11.7] years) were stratified by participant age into preschool (age 2-5 years; 27 [9%]), younger school-aged (age 5-10 years; 146 [51%]), and older school-aged (age 10-18 years; 115 [40%]). Among these subgroups, the prevalence of multilevel obstruction was 59%, 51%, and 30%, respectively. Increasing age was inversely correlated with obstruction of the nasal airway (τb, -0.19; 95% CI, -0.29 to -0.09), nasopharynx (τb, -0.20; 95% CI, -0.31 to -0.10), velopharynx (τb, -0.16; 95% CI, -0.26 to -0.06), and overall obstruction (SERS total score: τb, -0.24; 95% CI, -0.33 to -0.14). An adjusted analysis demonstrated an inverse association between age and nasopharyngeal obstruction (odds ratio [OR], 0.84; 95% CI, 0.76 to 0.92), SERS total score (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.76 to 0.90), and the number of sites of complete obstruction (OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.87 to 0.95). Conclusions and Relevance This cross-sectional analysis of data from a prospective cohort study of surgically naive children with SDB found that preschool-aged children had more frequent multilevel obstruction, more severe overall obstruction, and nasopharyngeal obstruction compared with older children. Understanding the most common sites of obstruction and expected changes with age could inform personalized treatment for children with SDB.

Abstract
Importance Persistent obstructive sleep apnea after adenotonsillectomy is common in children with Down syndrome or obesity. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy could help to identify anatomic differences in these patients that might affect surgical decision-making. Objective To assess drug-induced sleep endoscopy findings in surgically naive children with obstructive sleep apnea with obesity or Down syndrome and compare these findings with children without obesity or Down syndrome. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional analysis of data from a prospective cohort study of patients enrolled between May 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019, was conducted at an academic tertiary care children's hospital and included a consecutive sample of surgically naive children (age 2-18 years) who underwent drug-induced sleep endoscopy at the time of adenotonsillectomy for sleep-disordered breathing. Indications for sleep endoscopy included severe sleep apnea, age older than 7 years, obesity, African American race, and Down syndrome. Exposures Drug-induced sleep endoscopy. Main Outcomes and Measures Sleep endoscopy findings were scored according to the Sleep Endoscopy Rating Scale. Ratings at 6 anatomic levels for children with obesity and those with Down syndrome were compared with controls without obesity or Down syndrome using several measures of effect size (Cohen d, Cramer V, and η2). Results A total of 317 children (158 girls [50%]; 219 [69%] White, 20 [6%] Black, and 103 [34%] Hispanic; mean [95% CI] age, 9.6 [9.2-10.0] years) were included, of whom 115 (36%) were controls without obesity or Down syndrome, 179 (56%) had obesity without Down syndrome, and 23 (7%) had Down syndrome. The mean apnea-hypopnea index was 16 (95% CI, 13-19), and the mean minimum O2 saturation was 83% (95% CI, 81%-85%). Compared with controls without obesity or Down syndrome, children with Down syndrome demonstrated greater overall obstruction (mean sleep endoscopy rating scale total score of 5.6 vs 4.8; Cohen d, 0.46), and greater tonsillar (percentage of complete obstruction: 65% vs 54%), tongue base (percentage of complete obstruction: 26% vs 12%), and arytenoid obstruction (percentage of at least partial obstruction, 35% vs 6%). Children with obesity had greater tonsillar (percentage of complete obstruction, 74% vs 54%) and less base of tongue obstruction (percentage of complete obstruction, 2% vs 12%) compared with controls. Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study, surgically naive children with obesity with obstructive sleep apnea had predominantly tonsillar obstruction, whereas children with Down syndrome demonstrated greater obstruction of the tonsils, tongue base, and arytenoids compared with controls. Routine drug-induced sleep endoscopy should be considered in surgically naive children with Down syndrome to help inform the surgical plan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an expert consensus statement on pediatric drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) that clarifies controversies and offers opportunities for quality improvement. Pediatric DISE was defined as flexible endoscopy to examine the upper airway of a child with obstructive sleep apnea who is sedated and asleep. METHODS Development group members with expertise in pediatric DISE followed established guidelines for developing consensus statements. A search strategist systematically reviewed the literature, and the best available evidence was used to compose consensus statements regarding DISE in children 0 to 18 years old. Topics with significant practice variation and those that would improve the quality of patient care were prioritized. RESULTS The development group identified 59 candidate consensus statements, based on 50 initial proposed topics, that focused on addressing the following high-yield topics: (1) indications and utility, (2) protocol, (3) optimal sedation, (4) grading and interpretation, (5) complications and safety, and (6) outcomes for DISE-directed surgery. After 2 iterations of the Delphi survey and removal of duplicative statements, 26 statements met the criteria for consensus; 11 statements were designated as no consensus. Several areas, such as the role of DISE at the time of adenotonsillectomy, were identified as needing further research. CONCLUSION Expert consensus was achieved for 26 statements pertaining to indications, protocol, and outcomes for pediatric DISE. Clinicians can use these statements to improve quality of care, inform policy and protocols, and identify areas of uncertainty. Future research, ideally randomized controlled trials, is warranted to address additional controversies related to pediatric DISE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an expert-based consensus of recommendations for the diagnosis and management of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS A two-iterative Delphi method questionnaire was used to formulate expert recommendations by the members of the International Pediatric Otolaryngology Group (IPOG). RESULTS Twenty-six members completed the survey. Consensus recommendations (>90% agreement) are formulated for 15 different items related to the clinical evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management and follow-up of children with OSA. CONCLUSION The recommendations formulated in this IPOG consensus statement may be used along with existing clinical practice guidelines to improve the quality of care and to reduce variation in care for children with OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Create a competency-based assessment tool for pediatric esophagoscopy with foreign body removal. STUDY DESIGN Blinded modified Delphi consensus process. SETTING Tertiary care center. METHODS A list of 25 potential items was sent via the Research Electronic Data Capture database to 66 expert surgeons who perform pediatric esophagoscopy. In the first round, items were rated as "keep" or "remove" and comments were incorporated. In the second round, experts rated the importance of each item on a seven-point Likert scale. Consensus was determined with a goal of 7 to 25 final items. RESULTS The response rate was 38/64 (59.4%) in the first round and returned questionnaires were 100% complete. Experts wanted to "keep" all items and 172 comments were incorporated. Twenty-four task-specific and 7 previously-validated global rating items were distributed in the second round, and the response rate was 53/64 (82.8%) with questionnaires returned 97.5% complete. Of the task-specific items, 9 reached consensus, 7 were near consensus, and 8 did not achieve consensus. For global rating items that were previously validated, 6 reached consensus and 1 was near consensus. CONCLUSIONS It is possible to reach consensus about the important steps involved in rigid esophagoscopy with foreign body removal using a modified Delphi consensus technique. These items can now be considered when evaluating trainees during this procedure. This tool may allow trainees to focus on important steps of the procedure and help training programs standardize how trainees are evaluated. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 5. Laryngoscope, 131:1168-1174, 2021.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of the 2011 American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) guideline on practice patterns in obtaining preadenotonsillectomy (AT) polysomnography (PSG) for pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary children's hospital. SUBJECT AND METHODS The study population included all patients referred to our pediatric otolaryngology clinic for consideration of AT for SDB during two 12-month time periods: before (2010-2011) and after (2015-2016) publication of the 2011 AAO-HNS guideline. Demographic, insurance, comorbidity, and Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) variables were assessed for association with pre-AT PSG using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A greater percentage of patients underwent pre-AT PSG in 2015-2016 vs 2010-2011 (30% vs 22%, P = .001). On multivariate analysis, presence of neuromuscular disorder was the only predictor associated with pre-AT PSG in 2010 to 2011 (odds ratio [OR], 3.00; 95% CI, 1.10, 8.06; P = .03). Presence of neuromuscular disorder (OR, 2.54; 95% CI, 1.51, 4.29; P < .0001), craniofacial anomaly (OR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.20, 4.50; P = .013), or Down syndrome (OR, 3.45; 95% CI, 1.54, 7.72; P = .003) was associated with pre-AT PSG in 2015 to 2016. Positive PSQ screen was significantly associated with decreased odds of pre-AT PSG in both time periods. CONCLUSION After publication of the 2011 AAO-HNS guideline, there was a significant but modest increase in pre-AT PSG utilization in children with SDB and high-risk comorbidities at our institution, consistent with AAO-HNS guideline recommendations. However, overall guideline adherence remains low and may reflect limitations in PSG testing capacity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Create a competency-based assessment tool for pediatric tracheotomy. STUDY DESIGN Blinded, modified, Delphi consensus process. METHODS Using the REDCap database, a list of 31 potential items was circulated to 65 expert surgeons who perform pediatric tracheotomy. In the first round, items were rated as "keep" or "remove," and comments were incorporated. In the second round, experts were asked to rate the importance of each item on a seven-point Likert scale. Consensus criteria were determined a priori with a goal of 7 to 25 final items. RESULTS The first round achieved a response rate of 39/65 (60.0%), and returned questionnaires were 99.5% complete. All items were rated as "keep," and 137 comments were incorporated. In the second round, 30 task-specific and seven previously validated global rating items were distributed, and the response rate was 44/65 (67.7%), with returned questionnaires being 99.3% complete. Of the Task-Specific Items, 13 reached consensus, 10 were near consensus, and 7 did not achieve consensus. For the 7 previously validated global rating items, 5 reached consensus and two were near consensus. CONCLUSIONS It is feasible to reach consensus on the important steps involved in pediatric tracheotomy using a modified Delphi consensus process. These items can now be considered to create a competency-based assessment tool for pediatric tracheotomy. Such a tool will hopefully allow trainees to focus on the important aspects of this procedure and help teaching programs standardize how they evaluate trainees during this procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Clinical Assessment Score-15 (CAS-15) has been validated as an office-based assessment for pediatric sleep-disordered breathing in otherwise healthy children. Our objective was to determine the generalizability of the CAS-15 in a multi-institutional fashion. METHODS Five hundred and thirty children from 13 sites with suspected sleep-disordered breathing were recruited, and the investigators completed the CAS-15. Based on decisions made in the course of clinical care, investigators recommended overnight polysomnography, observation, medical therapy, and/or surgery. Two hundred and forty-seven subjects had a follow-up CAS-15. RESULTS Mean age was 5.1 (2.6) years; 54.2% were male; 39.1% were white; and 37.0% were African American. Initial mean (standard deviation [SD]) CAS-15 was 37.3 (12.7), n = 508. Spearman correlation between the initial CAS-15 and the initial apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 0.41 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.29, 0.51), n = 212, P < .001. A receiver-operating characteristic curve predicting positive polysomnography (AHI > 2) had an area under the curve of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.63, 0.80). A score ≥ 32 had a sensitivity of 69.0% (95% CI, 61.7, 75.5), a specificity of 63.4% (95% CI, 47.9, 76.6), a positive predictive value of 88.7% (95% CI, 82.1, 93.1), and a negative predictive value of 32.9% (95% CI, 23.5, 44.0) in predicting positive polysomnography. Among children who underwent surgery, the mean change (SD) score was 30.5 (12.6), n = 201, t = 36.85, P < .001, effect size = 3.1. CONCLUSION This study establishes the generalizability of the CAS-15 as a useful office tool for the evaluation of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2B Laryngoscope, 130:2256-2262, 2020.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE (1) Determine the correlation of awake tonsil scores and preadenotonsillectomy (pre-AT) sleep endoscopy findings. (2) Assess the relationship between polysomnographic AT outcomes with awake tonsil scores and sleep endoscopy ratings of tonsil and adenoid obstruction. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series with chart review. SETTING Tertiary care children's hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Children aged 1 to 18 years who underwent sleep endoscopy and AT from January 1, 2013, to August 30, 2016, were included. Pre-AT sleep endoscopy findings were scored with the Sleep Endoscopy Rating Scale. Awake tonsil scores and sleep endoscopy ratings were compared with Spearman correlation. Associations between changes in pre- and post-AT polysomnography parameters and (1) awake tonsil scoring and (2) sleep endoscopy scoring were assessed with 1-way analysis of variance and linear regression. RESULTS Participants included 36 children (mean ± SD age, 6.8 ± 4.3 years; 68% male, 44% obese). Awake tonsil scores and sleep endoscopy ratings were strongly correlated (R = 0.58, P = .003). Awake tonsil scores were not associated with changes in any polysomnography parameters after AT (all P > .05), while sleep endoscopy ratings of adenotonsillar obstruction were significantly associated (all P < .05, R2 = 0.16-0.35). Patients with minimal adenotonsillar obstruction during sleep endoscopy had less improvement than those with partial or complete obstruction (mean obstructive apnea-hypopnea index change: -8.2 ± 11.5 vs -15.9 ± 14.3, and -46.8 ± 31.3, respectively; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS In children at risk for AT failure, assessment of dynamic collapse with sleep endoscopy may better predict the outcome of AT than awake tonsil size assessment, thus helping to inform surgical expectations.

Abstract
Purpose of review Pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common condition that is often misdiagnosed and can be challenging to treat. This review aims to 1) Review definitions, presentation, complications, and management of CRS in children. 2) Highlight the paucity of evidence in the management of pediatric CRS. Recent findings There are few studies supporting the usual recommended medical therapy for pediatric CRS (antibiotics, nasal saline irrigations, intranasal steroid). Adenoidectomy remains a mainstay of surgical treatment, but recent evidence demonstrates the utility of balloon sinuplasty and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for patients who fail adenoidectomy alone. Summary Pediatric CRS is distinct from ARS and adult CRS. It is a common problem that is poorly studied, in part because of significant symptomatic overlap with related conditions. Recent evidence supports the use of surgical treatment in children who fail medical management. However, further outcome studies are needed to better evaluate the effectiveness of current medical and surgical management protocols.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES (1) To assess the predictors for obtaining polysomnography (PSG) in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy (AT) for sleep-disordered breathing, and (2) to estimate the adherence to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) guideline recommendations for pre-AT PSG. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of children who were seen in the Pediatric Otolaryngology Clinic and underwent AT for sleep-disordered breathing over a 13-month period at a single tertiary care children's hospital. Patients with and without pre-AT PSG were compared using bivariate and logistic regression analysis to identify predictors for PSG. Electronic medical records were reviewed for demographic variables, medical comorbidities, and PSG data. Adherence to AAO-HNS guideline recommendations was estimated by calculating the proportion of patients who had a PSG among those who met the recommended criteria for pre-AT PSG. RESULTS Mean age was 6.6 ± 3.6 years with 53% male. A total of 65 of 324 children (20%) underwent PSG prior to AT. The only factor significantly associated with pre-AT PSG was age 1 to 3 years (odds ratio 4.5, 95% confidence interval [2.2, 9.0], P < .001). Among patients who met AAO-HNS criteria for pre-AT PSG, 28 of 128 (20%) underwent PSG compared to 35 of 186 (19%) who did not meet criteria (odds ratio 1.0, 95% confidence interval [0.6, 1.9], P = .87). CONCLUSIONS Among children who underwent AT, the only significant predictor of obtaining pre-AT PSG was age 1 to 3 years. The rate of adherence to the AAO-HNS guideline recommendations was low (20%), which represents an educational opportunity.

Abstract
Objectives Our objectives were (1) to assess patterns of intranasal steroid administration when otitis media with effusion (OME) has been diagnosed in children, (2) to investigate whether usage varies according to visit setting, and (3) to determine if practice gaps are such that quality improvement could be tracked. Study Design Cross-sectional analysis of an administrative database. Subjects and Methods National Ambulatory and Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Surveys, 2005 to 2012; univariate, multivariate, and stratified analyses of intranasal steroid usage were performed. The primary outcome was intranasal steroid administration, and the primary predictor was a diagnosis of OME. The impact of location of service was also analyzed. Results Data representing 1,943,177,903 visits demonstrated that intranasal steroids were administered in 10.0% of visits in which OME was diagnosed, in comparison to 3.5% of visits in which OME was not diagnosed (univariate odds ratio, 3.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.85-5.08; P < .001). After adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and other confounding conditions, multivariate analysis demonstrated that OME remained associated with an increase in intranasal steroid usage (odds ratio, 3.58; 95% CI, 1.60-8.01; P = .002). This practice pattern was more prevalent in the ambulatory office setting (risk difference 6.6%, P < .001) and less seen in a hospital-based office or emergency department. Conclusion Despite randomized controlled trials showing a lack of efficacy for isolated OME, nasal steroids continue to be used in treating children with OME in the United States. Related quality improvement opportunities to prevent usage of an ineffective treatment exist.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Assess the reliability of a Sleep Endoscopy Rating Scale (SERS) and its relationship with pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series of pediatric patients who underwent drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) at the time of surgery for OSA from January 1, 2013 to May 1, 2014. METHODS Three blinded otolaryngologists scored obstruction on DISE recordings as absent (0), partial (+1), or complete (+2) at six anatomic levels: nasal airway, nasopharynx, velopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and arytenoids. Ratings were summed for a SERS total score (range, 0-12). Reliability was calculated using a κ statistic with linear weighting. SERS ratings and obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) were compared using Spearman correlation. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis determined the ability of the SERS total score to predict severe OSA (OAHI >10). RESULTS Thirty-nine patients were included (mean age, 8.3 ± 5.1 years; 36% obese; mean OAHI, 19.1 ± 23.7). Intrarater and inter-rater reliability was substantial-to-excellent (κ = 0.61-0.83) and fair-to-substantial (κ = 0.33-0.76), respectively. Ratings correlated best with OAHI for the oropharynx (r = 0.54, P = .02), hypopharynx (r = 0.48, P = .04), and SERS total score (r = 0.75, P = .002). In ROC analysis, a SERS total score ≥6 demonstrated sensitivity/specificity of 81.8%/87.5%, respectively, and correctly classified 84% of patients. CONCLUSIONS The SERS can be applied reliably in children undergoing DISE for OSA. Ratings of the oropharynx, hypopharynx, and SERS total score demonstrated significant correlation with OSA severity. A SERS total score ≥6 was an accurate predictor of severe OSA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4. Laryngoscope, 126:1492-1498, 2016.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between craniofacial anomalies and diagnosis with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a large, population-based sample of children. DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. METHODS Cases of OSA (n = 1,203) were identified by International Classification of Diseases-9 codes consistent with OSA in the 1987-2003 Washington State inpatient discharge database among children ≤18 years of age and born in Washington state. For each case, five controls without OSA (n = 6,015) were randomly selected from the remaining Washington State births, frequency matched by birth year. Congenital anomaly diagnoses and covariates were extracted from discharge data for all inpatient hospitalizations during the study period and linked birth certificate data. Multiple logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the associations between congenital anomalies (including subgroups) and OSA. RESULTS An OSA diagnosis was strongly associated with the presence of any craniofacial anomaly (adjusted OR 38, 95%CI [24, 60]) and, in particular, with orofacial cleft (adjusted OR 40, 95%CI [17, 94]) and Down syndrome (adjusted OR 51, 95%CI [20, 128]). OSA was less associated with any noncraniofacial malformation (adjusted OR 4.1, 95%CI [3.1, 5.3]), which may reflect the relatively small effect of inpatient exposure bias in the associations above. CONCLUSIONS The presence of congenital craniofacial anomalies is strongly associated with inpatient diagnosis of OSA. These findings persist even after control of major potential biases. Parents and clinicians should consider screening for OSA among children with craniofacial anomalies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies comparing different categories of nasal measures have reported inconsistent results. We sought to compare validated measures of the nasal airway: anatomic (acoustic rhinometry), physiological (nasal peak inspiratory flow), and subjective experience (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation Scale and a visual analog scale [VAS]). METHODS This prospective cross-sectional study of 290 nonrhinologic patients included upright and supine rhinometry (minimum cross sectional area [MCA] and volume) and flow (mean and maximum) measurements, as well as subjective measures. Associations between measures were evaluated with Spearman correlations and multivariate linear regression, adjusting for age, sex, race, body mass index, and smoking history. RESULTS Correlations between objective (rhinometry and flow) and subjective categories of nasal measures ranged from -0.16 to 0.03 (mean correlation, -0.07 +/- 0.05), with 0 significant correlations of 16 tested. Correlations between anatomic (rhinometry) and physiological (flow) categories ranged from 0.04 to 0.15 (mean correlation, 0.10 +/- 0.03), with 0 significant correlations of 16 tested. In contrast, within each category (rhinometry, flow, and subjective), all correlations were significant (13 correlations, all p < 0.001) and ranged from 0.62 to 0.99. Of 16 adjusted associations between objective and subjective measures, 14 were not significant (p > 0.05); only upright and supine MCAs were significantly associated with the VAS (both, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Validated anatomic, physiological, and subjective nasal measures may assess different aspects of the nasal airway and provide complementary information. Future studies should be directed at developing a composite measure including components from all three categories of nasal measurement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES 1) To compare nasendoscopy (NE) and multiview fluoroscopy (MVF) in assessing velopharyngeal gap size; and 2) to determine the relationship between these assessments and velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) severity. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Retrospective review of consecutive patients with VPI at a tertiary care children's hospital, assessed with NE and MVF between 1996 and 2003. RESULTS 177 subjects. NE and MVF gap areas were correlated (R = 0.34, 95% CI 0.26-0.41). In adjusted analysis, VPI severity was associated with: 1) NE gap area (OR = 2.78, 95% CI 1.96-3.95), 2) MVF gap area (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.37-1.95), 3) age <5 years (OR 3.30, 95% CI 1.47-7.38), and 4) previously repaired cleft palate (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.25-0.94). CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE NE and MVF assessments provide complementary information and are correlated. Both are associated with VPI severity. However, the "bird's-eye view" provided by NE has a stronger correlation with VPI severity than MVF. EBM RATING B-2b.

Abstract
OBJECT The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that balloon angioplasty is superior to papaverine infusion for the treatment of proximal anterior circulation arterial vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Between 1989 and 1995, 125 vasospastic distal internal carotid artery or proximal middle cerebral artery vessel segments were treated in 52 patients. METHODS Blood flow velocities of the involved vessels were assessed by using transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring in relation to the day of treatment with balloon angioplasty or papaverine infusion. Balloon angioplasty and papaverine infusion cohorts were compared based on mean pre- and posttreatment velocity at 24 and 48 hours using the one-tailed, paired-samples t-test. Balloon angioplasty alone was performed in 101 vessel segments (81%) in 39 patients (75%), whereas papaverine infusion alone was used in 24 vessel segments (19%) in 13 patients (25%). Although repeated treatment after balloon angioplasty was needed in only one vessel segment, repeated treatment following papaverine infusion was required in 10 vessel segments (42%) in six patients because of recurrent vasospasm (p < 0.001). Seven vessel segments (29%) with recurrent spasm following papaverine infusion were treated with balloon angioplasty. Although vessel segments treated with papaverine demonstrated a 20% mean decrease in blood flow velocity (p < 0.009) on posttreatment Day 1, velocities were not significantly lower than pretreatment levels by posttreatment Day 2 (p = 0.133). Balloon angioplasty resulted in a 45% mean decrease in velocity to a normal level following treatment (p < 0.001), a decrease that was sustained. CONCLUSIONS Balloon angioplasty is superior to papaverine infusion for the permanent treatment of proximal anterior circulation vasospasm following aneurysmal SAH.

Abstract
PURPOSE The clinical diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is unreliable. Contrast phlebography (CP) continues to be the gold standard, but it is invasive. Although duplex ultrasonography is an accurate, noninvasive alternative, it is expensive, technically demanding, and time-consuming. We postulated that light reflection rheography (LRR), a noninvasive method of assessing the quantity and rate of venous emptying, might be a reliable and inexpensive bedside approach to screening patients with clinically suspected DVT. METHODS With LRR, infrared light is beamed onto the skin, and the amount of backscattered rays are detected, which indirectly measures the amount of blood present in a volume of the epidermis beneath the LRR probe. Applied to the calf muscle pump, LRR can provide a noninvasive method of assessing blood volume changes in the sample area of skin, in response to venous hemodynamic changes in the lower limb. RESULTS Sixty-nine limbs in 61 patients undergoing CP for clinically suspected DVT over a period of 12 months also underwent LRR, either just before or within 24 hours of undergoing phlebography. The criteria for diagnosing DVT on CP were presence of filling defect or nonfilling of a venous segment. The result of LRR was considered positive for DVT if the rate of venous emptying was 0.35 or less. With these criteria a sensitivity of 96.4% and specificity of 82.9 were obtained. This resulted in a positive predictive value of 79% and a negative predictive value of 97.1%. CONCLUSIONS LRR is a simple, inexpensive, and noninvasive bedside test that takes 10 minutes to perform. It is highly sensitive with a high negative predictive value, detecting most cases of DVT, reliably ruling out DVT, and eliminating the need for more time-consuming and costly studies. Therefore it seems to be an appropriate screening test in patients with clinically suspected DVT.

Abstract
A survey was conducted to assess the extent to which behavior therapy techniques were employed by clinical psychologists in Hong Kong. The most popular techniques included those that could be grouped under the self-management package and the least popular techniques generally involved an aversive element, or were in vivo. The use of behavior therapy was correlated with the younger age range of the treatment clientele. The results and the future development of behavior therapy were discussed in terms of cultural issues, training and the theoretical orientations of the respondents.

Abstract
Increasing recognition of the importance of social support for health has not been accompanied by commensurate increases in knowledge about how to strengthen natural support networks on a large scale. This study evaluated the impact of California's innovative "Friends Can Be Good Medicine" public education campaign in promoting social support. Campaign impact was assessed with pre-, post-, and long-term follow-up interviews with a panel sample of 340 adults in the six county Fresno media market area. Comparisons of exposed and unexposed individuals found that the campaign appeared to have measurable impact on knowledge, attitudes, behavioral intentions, and support enhancing behavior. Follow-up interviews indicated that these gains maintained themselves over the course of a year. The campaign was most effective when it utilized multiple channels of communication. In Fresno City, where there was the most intensive combination of community activities and media exposure, respondents indicating substantial likelihood of engaging in support enhancing behavior increased from 42% to 59% compared to smaller gains in areas which relied primarily on community implementation, and no gains in areas where exposure to the campaign was limited to mass media. The campaign appeared particularly effective with people who had experienced the death of someone close to them during the past year, and within that group, gains were largest among respondents below average in initial levels of social support.

Abstract
This paper describes Friends Can Be Good Medicine, a multi-media, mental health promotion campaign conducted in 1982 throughout California. The creative design, pilot-test, implementation and results are reviewed. Conceptually, Friends was derived from evidence linking supportive personal relationships with increased physical and mental health. Three major campaign elements were: broadcast media, an array of educational materials, and community activities. Evaluation findings revealed that Friends was most effective when campaign elements reinforced one another. Resulting changes in knowledge, attitudes, and intentions among those reached by Friends were maintained after one year. It is contended that, for better or worse, mass media is part of the health care system.
