Clinical utility of repeated positive airway pressure titrations in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
STUDY
objectivesPositive airway pressure (PAP) is the second line of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children. It is common practice following initiation of PAP to perform repeat titration polysomnography to re-evaluate the patient's therapeutic pressure; however, data supporting this practice are lacking. We hypothesized that repeat PAP titration would result in significant setting changes in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed demographic, polysomnographic, and PAP data of children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome aged 0-18 years who were initiated on PAP and underwent 2 titration studies over a 2-year period. PAP mode and recommended pressure differences between the 2 titrations were compared.
results64 children met inclusion criteria. The median (interquartile range) baseline obstructive apnea-hypopnea index and SpO
conclusionsOverall, repeat PAP titration in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome within the timeframe here described did not result in significant changes in PAP mode, continuous PAP pressure, or obstructive apnea-hypopnea index. Based on these data, repeat PAP titration within 2 years of an initial titration does not appear to be necessary. CITATION: Yendur O, Feld L, Miranda-Schaeubinger M, et al.
