This article provides the current state of evidence on the socioeconomic impact of portable testing (PT) for sleep apnea. It seems the traditional in-laboratory polysomnography and the newer home-based PT model for sleep apnea diagnosis both have places in sleep medicine diagnostic algorithm. PT would be cost-effective in a selected group of patients as long as certain criteria, discussed in this article, are carefully considered.
本文介绍了关于便携式睡眠呼吸暂停检测(PT)社会经济影响的当前证据状况。传统的实验室多导睡眠图和用于睡眠呼吸暂停诊断的新型家庭式PT模式在睡眠医学诊断算法中似乎都有一席之地。只要仔细考虑本文中讨论的某些标准,PT对于特定患者群体将具有成本效益。
