Split-Night Polysomnography Overestimates Apnea-Hypopnea Index in High-Risk Professions.

Conclusions: In the relatively young, non-obese ADSM population, the majority did not qualify for a SN-PSG. The 3-hour SN-PSG accurately determined OSA severity in those with moderate-severe OSA; however, some patients with mild OSA would have been misclassified which can result in unnecessary duty limitations. A SN-PSG may not be ideal for this population. PMID: 30462265 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
