Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function 2 (BRIEF2) working memory score
Change from baseline in the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function 2 (BRIEF2) working memory score (BRIEF2wm). The score ranges from 35-90. A higher score is a worse outcome.
Baseline and 6 months
Differential Ability Scales - 2nd Edition (DAS-II) T-score.
Change from baseline in the Differential Ability Scales - 2nd Edition (DAS-II) recognition of pictures (DAS2RoP) T-score. The score ranges from 10-90. A higher score is a better outcome.
Baseline and 6 months
Secondary Outcomes (40)

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Ages 5.0 to 17.9 years at the time of screening
- Children with OSA and obstructive apnea hypopnea index (OAHI) ≥5/hour.
- Absence of clinically significant hypoxia defined as oxygen saturation \<88% for 5 minutes or episodic desaturation to 60% as these levels would otherwise identify children eligible to routinely receive oxygen.
- Favorable response to oxygen therapy (allowing randomization) will be defined as follows:
- Oxygen saturation nadir \>92% and
- Decrease in obstructive index \< 5 / hour or by \> 50% from screening PSG
- Reaching an optimum oxygen flow which is defined as the flow that achieves the lowest level of AHI with maximum CO2 level less than 65 mmHg observed for 5 consecutive minutes and or an increase in CO2 by less than 15 points above baseline. The above criteria are observed while the patient spends a minimal of 30 minutes in the supine position and at least one cycle of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
- Oxygen flow required does not exceed 3.0 LPM and does not exceed a FiO2 \> 40 %.
- Willingness to comply with all study procedures and available for duration of study.
- At baseline the participant attempts to perform the neuropsychological tests
You may not qualify if:
- Current CPAP use with documented compliance(\> 4 hrs/ night; \> 70% of nights).
- Oxygen saturation \< 90% at rest during wakefulness.
- Chronic daytime or nighttime use of supplemental oxygen.
- Smoker in the child's bedroom.
- Unrepaired congenital heart disease.
- Moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension requiring treatment with oxygen and or pulmonary vasodilator.
- Unable to participate in a PSG.
- Individuals who develop alveolar hypoventilation with oxygen as previously defined.
- Other severe chronic diseases determined by their provider as making them poor study candidates.
- Enrolled or planning to enroll in another study that may conflict with protocol requirements or confound results in this trial.
- Documented clinically significant untreated hypothyroidism
- Children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy who are candidates for adenotonsillectomy and parents agree to the surgery.
