Title: A Comparison of Laboratory Polysomnography and a Home Sleep Study in the Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS)
Abstract: PURPOSE: The gold standard for diagnosis of OSAS is the sleep laboratory polysomnography (lab-PSG), which is technically demanding, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. Thus, screening of large undiagnosed population for OSAS may be cost efficient only by means of ambulatory devices suitable for home recording. The aim of our study was to validate the role of a home sleep study (HSS) in the diagnosis of OSAS.
