Study objectives To compare the relative usefulness of the different indexes derived from
pulse oximetry in the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to determine if a …

Objectives: To assess the clinical value of pulseoximetry in the diagnosis of sleep apnea
when satisfactory agreement with polysomnography is obtained. Methods: This was a …

Objective: To determine the value of home oximetry as a screening test in patients with
moderate to severe symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Design: Retrospective …

Study objective The cost and inconvenience of polysomnography make simplified
techniques of screening desirable in the strategy of diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome …

Background Polysomnography (PSG) is treated as the gold standard for diagnosing
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and …

In order to determine whether measurement of arterial oxygen saturation (Sao2) could
identify patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 98 consecutive patients referred for …

Manual detection and quantitation 01 apneas from an all-night polysomnogram is very time-
consuming. Because Sao, changes with virtually every apnea event, we reasoned that by …

BACKGROUND The gold standard diagnostic test for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is
overnight polysomnography (PSG) which is costly in terms of time and money …

Abstract Study Objectives: To compare apnea-hypopnea indices (AHIs) derived using 3
standard hypopnea definitions published by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine …

Background: Various models and questionnaires have been developed for screening
specific populations for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as defined by the apnea/hypopnea …
