The association between obstructive sleep apnea severity and sleep architecture measured with non-contact radar technology in primary investigation and follow-up on therapy: A pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate if sleep classification data from a non-contact sleep monitor placed in the patient's bedroom at home were associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity at the time of primary investigation. Secondly, we aimed to study the effect of established continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on objective sleep classification measurements.

Methods

We performed a prospective single center study at a medium size hospital. Adult patients referred with symptoms that could indicate OSA underwent standard respiratory polygraphy (RPG) registration, sleep classification measured with non-contact radar technology (Somnofy, Vitalthings AS, Norway), and answered the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) questionnaire.
