Does therapeutic CPAP pressure correlate with OSA severity in children?
A weak correlation was observed between therapeutic CPAP pressure and MOAHI in our cohort of children, with no correlation with BMI, highlighting the potential role of other factors, such as anatomical features. Future studies should confirm these findings with PSG-titrated CPAP pressures, and determine predictive factors for therapeutic CPAP. Predicting the level of CPAP may be relevant in clinical practice, as PSG-titrated CPAP procedure becomes more challenging.
