Usefulness of Home Overnight Pulse Oximetry in Patients with Suspected Sleep-Disordered Breathing. Can Respir J. 2020 Nov 12;2020:1891285http://hdl.handle.net/10668/16730Prospective study conducted in a university hospital. Subjects with a clinical suspicion of SAHS were included. All of them underwent home polygraphy and oximetry on the same night. A correlation was made between the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and the oximetry variables. The variable with the highest diagnostic value was calculated using the area under the curve (AUC), and the best cut-off point for discriminating between patients with SAHS and severe SAHS was identified. One hundred and four subjects were included; 73 were men (70%); mean age was 52 ± 10.1 years; body mass index was 30 ± 4.1, and AHI = 29 ± 23.2/h. A correlation was observed between the AHI and oximetry variables, particularly ODI3 (r = 0.850; P Nocturnal oximetry is useful for diagnosing and evaluating the severity of SAHS. The ODI4 variable was most closely correlated with AHI for both diagnosis.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/AdultBody mass indexFemaleHumansMaleMiddle agedOximetryPolysomnographyProspective studiesSleep apnea syndromesResearch article33273990open accessEstudios prospectivosOximetríaPersona de mediana edadPolisomnografíaSíndromes de la apnea del sueñoÍndice de masa corporal10.1155/2020/18912851916-7245PMC7676978https://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/crj/2020/1891285.pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7676978/pdf
