الوصف: Introduction: The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is 1–4 %. Some reports describe its association with pulmonary hypertension (PH), but its prevalence is unknown. No studies at high altitude have determined the relationship between OSA and PH. The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of PH in children diagnosed with OSA living in a high-altitude city at 2640 m above sea level. Methods: Children between 2 and 16 years of age referred to the Sleep Laboratory of the Fundación Neumológica Colombiana in Bogotá with a positive polysomnogram for OSA were included, and a two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) was performed to evaluate PH. Statistical analysis was performed using median, interquartile range, chi-squared test, and Kruskall-Wallis test. Results: Of the 55 patients (n: 55), 63.6 % were male, with a median age of 6 years, 14 children (25.5 %) were overweight; 12 children (21.8 %) had mild OSA, 12 (21.8 %) had moderate OSA and 31 (56.4 %) severe OSA. In patients with severe OSA, the minimum saturation during events was 78 % with a desaturation index (DI) of 33.8/hour (p
