The total PSQ score can be segmented into four sub-scores: breathing, behavior, sleepiness, and other. A total score exceeding 0.33 (33% of questions answered positively) suggests the presence of sleep-disordered breathing and demonstrates a sensitivity of 81% and specificity of 87% within the general pediatric population<ref name=":4" />.

Purpose[edit | edit source]

The Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) is a screening tool for sleep problems in children. It increases the pretest probability of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and can help in the clinical decision making when polysomnography is unavailable[1].
The PSQ is widely used for research and in clinical settings. The questionnaire has 22 questions, comprising three symptom complexes: snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, and inattentive or hyperactive behaviour.

Intended population[edit | edit source]

Technique[edit | edit source]

  • The PSQ is a parent-reported questionnaire and contains 22 items. Parents must fill in the questions about snoring, apneas, daytime sleepiness, inattentive or hyperactive behavior, and other features. They must choose the following responses: ''yes'' = 1, ''no''=0, and ''don't know'' = missing.
  • Time to administer: 10-15 minutes[6]
  • Required training: not necessary[6]


The PSQ contains the following questions[7]:

  1. Does he/she snore more than half the night?
  2. Does he/she often snore?
  3. Does he/she snore noisily?
  4. Does he/she breathe loudly or heavily?
  5. Does he/she have trouble breathing, or effort to breathe?
  6. Have you ever seen your child stop breathing?
  7. Does he/she breathe out of his/her mouth during the day?
  8. Does he/she have a dry mouth when awake in the morning?
  9. Does he/she wet the bed?
  10. Does he/she awake in the morning without being refreshed?
  11. Does he/she have trouble with sleepiness in the daytime?
  12. Have a teacher or another supervisor noticed that he/she seems to be asleep during the daytime?
  13. Is he/she difficult to awaken in the morning?
  14. Does he/she awake in the morning with headaches?
  15. Has he/she ceased growing normally since birth?
  16. Is he/she overweight?
  17. He/she doesn't appear to listen when you talk to him/her directly
  18. He/she has trouble organizing duties and activities
  19. He/she is easily distracted by foreign stimulation
  20. He/she violins with hands or feet, or twitching in seating
  21. He/she is ''on the move'' or often acts like he/she is ''powered by an engine''
  22. He/she interrupts/disturbs others

Scoring[edit | edit source]

The total PSQ score can be segmented into four sub-scores: breathing, behavior, sleepiness, and other. A total score exceeding 0.33 (33% of questions answered positively) suggests the presence of sleep-disordered breathing and demonstrates a sensitivity of 81% and specificity of 87% within the general paediatric population[7].

Psychometric values[edit | edit source]

  • The PSQ is a valid tool for sceening paediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with a satisfactory diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity 0.50 and 0.81)[8][9].
    • The PSQ has a high sensitivity (0.74) in detecting mild paediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome[1].
    • The sensitivity of the PSQ in children with asthma is high (76.2 - 81.6), but the specificity is low (13.1 - 14.4)[2].
    • The threshold value of 0.65 demonstrated optimal sensitivity (80%) and specificity (100%) for identifying moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in children and adolescents with obesity[4].
  • The PSQ is an easy-to-use screening tool that can aid in the screening for paediatric sleep apnea[10][11].
