When the questionnaires were returned, responses were analyzed.
Most of the items of the Hindi version had perfect agreement with original questionnaire in a bilingual population (κ =1). Totally, 435 children were included in the field study having average age of 6.3 years. Obstructive sleep apnea was reported in 7.5% children; symptoms suggestive of restless legs syndrome were reported by 2%-3%; teeth grinding by 13.9% and sleep talking by 22.6% children.

本研究的目的是使用印地语版儿童睡眠问卷（PSQ）评估4至9岁儿童睡眠障碍的患病率。
本研究分为两部分，第一部分是将PSQ翻译成印地语并进行验证，第二部分是使用印地语版PSQ评估睡眠障碍的患病率。印地语版PSQ在半城市地区随机选择的小学中分发。要求孩子们让他们的父母填写问卷。问卷返回后，对回答进行分析。
在双语人群中，印地语版的大多数项目与原始问卷完全一致（κ = 1）。共有435名儿童纳入现场研究，平均年龄为6.3岁。7.5%的儿童报告有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停；2%-3%的儿童报告有不宁腿综合征的症状；13.9%的儿童有磨牙现象，22.6%的儿童有说梦话现象。
印地语版PSQ是筛查儿童睡眠障碍的有效工具。睡眠障碍在印度幼儿中相当普遍。
