i Description/ name of comparative treatments

Watchful waiting:
Children allocated to this group will not receive any form of intervention. This is similar to our current practice where children diagnosed with OSA and planned for surgery will have to wait for between 5-6 months before the procedure. At the end of the study, early intervention will be offered for children whose OSA remains as moderate-to-severe. Subjects allocated to this group will be reassessed 7 months after the baseline visit.
