Obstructive SDB includes a spectrum of clinical entities from simple snoring and upper airway resistance syndrome to obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS).It is important to distinguish children with different levels of severity of OSAS, using the patient's clinical history and physical examination, to identify children who need polysomnography http://ow.ly/gYHj30oc0Zb ER -
