Modified scoring criteria to improve the accuracy of the home sleep apnea test
Incorporating a surrogate indicator of a cortical arousal such as a hyperpnea can improve the diagnostic accuracy of the HSAT. Our modified HSAT scoring criteria improved AHI concordance with PSG with fewer false negatives (5%), thereby decreasing the need for repeat testing and saving costs.
