Portable polygraphic device (Somnocheck micro CARDIO^®) provides accurate diagnostic information in psychiatric patients at risk for obstructive sleep apnoea: an observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) overlap significantly with those of psychiatric disorders, making accurate diagnosis of OSA challenging within psychiatric settings. Diagnosing OSA in psychiatric patients is crucial because untreated OSA can exacerbate psychiatric symptoms, reduce treatment efficacy, and impair overall quality of life. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of a readily accessible procedure for psychiatric patients in a real-world clinical setting by comparing the Somnocheck micro CARDIO^® (SCm) portable cardiorespiratory polygraphy device with the gold standard polysomnography (PSG).

Methods

This observational cohort study included consecutive psychiatric patients at intermediate to high risk for OSA based on sc
