Summary
Polysomnograms (PSGs) are not used in most spine centers for children with EOS. There are no standards for PSG referrals, and the yield from PSGs is unknown. We describe referrals for PSGs in 96 children > 5 years old with EOS, their lung functions, types of EOS, and frequency of abnormal PSGs.
