Evaluate the capabilities of Watch-PAT-200 in obtaining data to determine the relationship between the loudness of snoring and the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
From 2017 to 2019, 208 patients with complaints of nocturnal snoring were examined. Apnea / hypopnea indices (AHI) and respiratory distress index (RDI) were assessed. The study was carried out on a Watch-PAT-200 portable device (Itamar Medical, Israel). The average volume of snoring (dB) and the proportion (%) of sleep time with the intensity of snoring over 50.60 and 70 dB were measured. The correlation of the obtained data with the AHI and RDI indices is estimated.
During the study, it was found that the volume of snoring increases as the severity of OSAS increases, therefore, the volume of snoring can be an indicator of the severity of OSAS. There are ample opportunities for screening diagnostics of the loudness of snoring with the subsequent consultation of a somnologist and timely prescription of treatment. Due to the objectivity of the obtained data and ease of use, the Watch-PAT-200 device can be used in outpatient practice for screening diagnostics of snoring and OSAS in the population.
评估Watch-PAT-200获取数据以确定打鼾响度与阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（OSAS）严重程度之间关系的能力。
2017年至2019年，对208例主诉夜间打鼾的患者进行了检查。评估了呼吸暂停/低通气指数（AHI）和呼吸窘迫指数（RDI）。研究使用Watch-PAT-200便携式设备（以色列Itamar Medical公司）进行。测量了打鼾的平均音量（dB）以及打鼾强度超过50、60和70 dB时的睡眠时间比例（%）。估计所获数据与AHI和RDI指数的相关性。
研究期间发现，随着OSAS严重程度的增加，打鼾音量增大，因此，打鼾音量可作为OSAS严重程度的一个指标。有充分的机会对打鼾响度进行筛查诊断，随后咨询睡眠专家并及时开出治疗处方。由于所获数据的客观性和使用便捷性，Watch-PAT-200设备可用于门诊实践，对人群中的打鼾和OSAS进行筛查诊断。
