OSA- obstructive sleep apnea confirmed by polysomnography obstructive apnea hypopnea index ≥1.5; PSQ - pediatric sleep questionnaire OSA symptom cut-off score > 0.33.

Higher scores indicate less fatigue.

Data shows statistically significant mean difference scores and 95% confidence intervals for comparisons of the OSA+/PSQ+, OSA−/PSQ−, and OSA−/PSQ+ groups.
