RECRUITINGLevel of baseline PSQ
Level of baseline PSQ of children who are referred to surgery. A level of \>33% yes i.e. 8/22 indicates medium to severe OSA and less than five yes indicates a healthy status. Minimum is 0 yes and maximum is 22 where 22 is the most severe disease. PSQ has a score from 0 to 22 where every yes on the scale is one point. A level of 8 "yes" (\>33%) indicates moderate to severe OSDB and less than five indicates no OSDB.
Time frame: Baseline

PSQ vs OSA-18
Compare PSQ-levels with OSA-18 levels OSA-18 is accounted as a scale from 18 to 126 points where a higher rate is a more severe disease. Score less than 60 suggests a mild impact on quality of life. Scores between 60 and 80 a moderate impact and a score higher than 80 severe impact. OSA-18 has a summary of 18 - 126 points where a higher level indicates worse quality of life. A score less than 60 indicates a mild impact on quality of life and score between 60 and 80 indicates moderate impact whereas a score above 80 indicates a high impact.
