Trial Outcomes & Findings for Validation of ApneaLink Air Home Sleep Testing in the Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adolescent Children (NCT NCT03748771)

NCT ID: NCT03748771

Last Updated: 2021-11-15

Results Overview

Accuracy is measured by ODI (oxygen desaturation index) and AHI (apnea hypopnea index) The ODI is defined as the number of episodes of oxygen desaturation per hour of sleep, with oxygen desaturation defined as a decrease in blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) to lower than 3% below baseline. The ODI is presented as an index to indicate the number of oxygen dips per hour of sleep. The AHI indicates the number of apneas or hypopneas which occured during the sleep study, divided by the hours of sleep. The AHI is an Index which indicates how many events occurred each hour

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1

Patient satisfaction with the HST and PSG procedures were determined by interview. Question read: "Do you prefer HST over PSG?"
