Lost to Follow-Up: Post-Operative Polysomnography in At-Risk, Pediatric OSAS

Abstract

Recurrent symptoms and increasing complexity likely contribute toward obtaining a postoperative PSG. Variability exists for which patients return to complete a post-operative PSG. We speculate 3 factors contributing to the discrepancies in follow up: 1. an inconsistent standard across disciplines 2. Inadequate post-operative OSAS management education 3. uncoordinated systemic processes. We recommend a standardized, multidisciplinary care pathway for pediatric patients who are at risk for residual OSA post-surgical intervention.
