Home Sleep Testing versus Traditional Polysomnography : Pros and Cons

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with long-term cardiovascular and respiratory comorbidities and increased burden on the health-care system. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to reduce physical and financial implications of the disease. Polysomnography uses neurophysiologic channels as well as basic respiratory and sleep parameters to best estimate the presence and/or severity of OSA. Although home sleep testing may have the potential for more variable results, it is a viable alternative to increase access to diagnosis of OSA and facilitate initiation of positive airway pressure.
