Availability of Home sleep apnea test equipment LS-140 on a comparison with Polysomnography.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Japan is 9% among males and 3% among females. Up to 2.5 million patients are estimated to suffer from the disease, but limited number of facilities are capable of carrying out polysomnography (PSG), leaving more than 80% of these individuals are undiagnosed. In recent years, the development of new portable sleep monitoring (PMs) devices has been remarkable. We evaluate the correlation between the results of the LS-140 PMs device (Fukuda Denshi Tech Co. Ltd.), released in 2017, and those of PSG.

Methods

We obtained contemporaneous data from the same patients by equipping 58 patients with PMs (LS-140) devices while they underwent PSG. Our primary outcome was Case 2 of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), i.e
