Stated patient preferences for overnight at-home diagnostic assessment of sleep disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The diagnostic workup for assessment of sleep disorders commonly involves overnight testing to assess sleep patterns and pathological events. So far, little is known about preferences for provision of home sleep tests to patients with sleep disorders. This study aims to close this gap by eliciting preferences for home sleep testing using a discrete choice experiment (DCE).

Methods

A DCE with seven attributes of at-home sleep testing and three levels per attribute was developed using a fractional factorial design. Patients with and without previous sleep testing experience were recruited from two large sleep centers in Germany. Coefficients for attribute levels were calculated using a conditional logit model to estimate their influence on choice decisions and calculat
