METHODS: The signal quality and outcomes of a Level 2 (home) polysomnography in young people undergoing investigation between September 2020 and January 2021 in a single centre was reviewed. A successful home polysomnogram was defined as a study with ≥6 h of sleep and all channels (EEG, thoraco-abdominal bands, calculated airflow, and pulse oximetry) present for at least 90% of the study time. Feedback from the guardian and young person was collected following the study using a questionnaire. RESULTS: Fifty-five patients, aged 4 months to 18 years, were included. A successful polysomnogram, on the first attempt, was achieved for 48/55 (87%) subjects. There were no differences in success when accounting for neurodevelopmental conditions, OSA severity or age. The majority (76%) of guardians felt that their child slept the same or better than normal and only 12% found having the study conducted at home difficult. Following the study, only 8% would have preferred a hospital sleep study in retrospect. CONCLUSIONS: Home polysomnography produced a technically adequate study for the majority of subjects. Most families also found the experience of having a home sleep study to be positive. These data support the use of home sleep studies as an alternative to an in-patient sleep study, in appropriate circumstances, for young people undergoing investigation of a sleep disorder.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.1354942159291497,"endowment":3.1354942159291497,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"34753042","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3209087665","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":1.5991,"citation_percentile":0.83517401,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2022,"count":4},{"year":2023,"count":5},{"year":2024,"count":5},{"year":2025,"count":4},{"year":2026,"count":4}],"oa_status":"hybrid","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sleep.2021.10.024","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sleep.2021.10.024","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1389945721005293?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1389945721005293?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34753042","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://research.bond.edu.au/en/publications/65537075-9933-4bb5-bcad-de638ca3991b","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://pure.bond.edu.au/ws/files/152618181/Home_Level_2_polysomnography.pdf","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Obstructive Sleep Apnea Research","Sleep and related disorders","Sleep and Wakefulness Research"],"mesh_terms":["Adolescent","Child","Humans","Oximetry","Sleep","Sleep Wake Disorders","Polysomnography","Sleep Apnea, Obstructive"],"keywords":["Polysomnogram","Polysomnography","Medicine","Sleep (system call)","Pediatrics","Actigraphy","Physical therapy","Insomnia","Psychiatry","Apnea","Children","Sleep","Ambulatory","Obstructive Sleep Apnoea","Diagnostic Screening"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-30T04:51:45.705033Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
