Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem affecting almost one billion individuals worldwide. Ninety percent of patients with OSA are still undiagnosed. Although an attended polysomnography (PSG) testing is the gold standard to diagnose OSA, it is time-consuming and is associated with higher costs. The Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) is now available to diagnose OSA. Understanding the indications and limitations of HSAT is important to avoid misdiagnosis and improve patient outcomes.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)是一个全球性的重大公共卫生问题,影响了近 10 亿人。90%的 OSA 患者仍未被诊断。尽管有创多导睡眠图(PSG)检测是诊断 OSA 的金标准,但它耗时且费用较高。家庭睡眠呼吸暂停测试(HSAT)现已可用于诊断 OSA。了解 HSAT 的适应证和局限性对于避免误诊和改善患者结局非常重要。
