The efficacy of Watch PAT in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome diagnosis

Abstract: Polysomnography is currently considered as the gold standard for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). But high expense and the backlog of the sleep centers have resulted in a search for an alternative method of diagnosis. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and reliability of Watch PAT as an alternate option in OSAS diagnosis. The patients have worn a Watch PAT(®) 200 device in the sleep laboratory during a standard polysomnography. The correlation in REM and Non-REM AHI scores… Show more

“…We believe portable sleep study is appropriate for treatment follow‐up once the diagnosis of OSA has been established. In terms of AHI validity and reliability, high validity and reliability were reported compared with polysomnography . Therefore, we consider the efficacy for sleep‐disordered breathing to be of minimal influence.…”

“…The sleep study was performed with the Watch‐PAT (Itamar Medical Caesarea, Israel), an FDA‐approved portable diagnostic device, consisting of peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) probe, a wrist‐mounted device and oxygen saturation monitor, with snoring monitor to assess the state of OSA at baseline and follow‐up. The Watch‐PAT was chosen for this study because it does not require a nasal pressure or airflow sensor, which may disturb Nastent fitting.…”

“…Several portable home sleep monitoring devices have also been developed to evaluate sleep staging, overall sleep time, and sleep quality. [10][11][12][13] Of these, the EarlySense (ES) contact-free sensor has been validated for measuring movement, heart rate, and respiration 14 and is currently used in hospitals in the United States. 15,16 The primary objective of the current study was to validate the accuracy of a new home-adapted sensor (Figure 1) for reliably determining sleep/wake state and sleep parameters as compared to PSG.…”

“…Testing SleepStrip reported a correlation of 0.71 between the device's results and PSG results [5]. Validation studies comparing the WatchPAT calculated AHI to PSG's AHI reported an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.93 [32] and Spearman's r = 0.802 [33].…”
