Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children is a prevalent and serious respiratory condition linked to cardiovascular morbidity. Polysomnography, the standard diagnostic approach, faces challenges in accessibility and complexity, leading to underdiagnosis. To simplify OSA diagnosis, deep learning (DL) algorithms have been developed using cardiac signals, but they often lack interpretability.

Recent advancements in data-driven algorithms using photoplethysmogram (PPG) time series have shown promise in automating sleep staging in adults.

Introduction: Hypertrophy of adenoids is a common condition in childhood, resulting in obstructive symptoms such as sleep apnea, snoring, and rhinosinusitis. Adenotonsillectomy is recommended to improve prognosis and quality of life. This case-control study compared facial angles and lip position related to dentofacial and mouth growth in symptomatic children with adenoid hypertrophy and asymptomatic control groups.

In randomized controlled trials, adjusting for baseline covariates is commonly used to improve the precision of treatment effect estimation. However, covariates often have missing values. Recently, Zhao and Ding studied two simple strategies, the single imputation method and missingness-indicator method (MIM), to handle missing covariates and showed that both methods can provide an efficiency gain compared to not adjusting for covariates.
