Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted a prospective randomized study with COPD patients suspected of having OSAS, using the Stardust device at home and in a sleep lab while performing standard polysomnography for comparison.
- * Although there was some agreement between the Stardust device and polysomnography results, the study concluded that the high number of recording failures diminishes the reliability of the portable device for diagnosing OSAS in COPD patients.
Article Synopsis
- Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is common in older adults, and at-home portable monitoring (PM) may serve as a viable alternative to the standard sleep study known as polysomnography (PSG) for diagnosing this condition.
- * The study involved patients over 65 with suspected OSAS who underwent two types of evaluations: at-home PM and simultaneous PM with PSG, allowing comparisons of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from each method.
- * Results showed that PM accurately diagnosed OSAS in elderly patients, with strong correlations between the different AHI values, indicating that PM can be effectively used instead of PSG for high-risk older adults.*
