Obstructive sleep apneaSleep fragmentationSleep-related breathing disordersWe aimed to evaluate the three hypopnea criteria, A and B from 2007 and the revised from 2012, proposed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) for scoring sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) in patients with...
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services criteria for the positive diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, [32] a positive test for OSA is established if either of the following criteria using the AHI or the RDI is met: AHI or RDI greater than or equal to 15 ...
Aetna considers Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved hypoglossal nerve neurostimulation (e.g., Inspire II System, Inspire 3028 system for Upper Airway Stimulation (UAS) Therapy) medically necessary for the treatment of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea whenallof the following criteria a...
The classification of obstructive sleep apnea is on the basis of sleep study criteria that may not adequately capture disease heterogeneity. Improved phenotyping may improve prognosis prediction and help select therapeutic strategies.Objectives: This study used cluster analysis to investigate the clinical cl...
The understanding of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has advanced significantly over the last several decades, but there still is much to discover. The diagnostic testing for OSA initially was limited to specialized sleep laboratories, but now often is performed in the patient's home with more limit...
By OrbSense+, 45 patients (84.91%) met the criteria for a diagnosis of OSA, with an average REI of 25.98 events per hour, including 5 mild, 25 moderate, and 15 severe OSA, respectively (Table 1). Table 1. The sleep parameters and obstructive sleep apnea severity obtained from 2 ...
Patients who met the following criteria were excluded from the study: < 20 years of age (n = 15,317); excessive alcohol consumption (≥ 30 g of alcohol/day) (n = 679,743); diagnosis of liver cirrhosis (K703, K746) or any hepatitis (B15-B19) (n = 989,161)...
(diagnosis criteria) or specific treatments targeting PH. This represents a classical limitation of epidemiological studies on PH reported in large databases, and we cannot exclude some potential misclassification. Our results suggest that further systematic prospective studies are needed to provide evidence...
Finally, we used a set of evaluation criteria (i.e., accuracy, TPR, TNR, AUC, precision, F-score, and G-mean) to evaluate the performance of each classifier. Figure 1. The proposed methodology. The figure illustrates the step-by-step process of the proposed methodology, which involved ...
The diagnosis of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea begins with a detailed history and physical examination followed by a diagnostic nocturnal polysomnogram, which continues to be the gold standard. TheInternational classification of sleep disorders second edition(ICSD-2) diagnostic criteria for pediatric ...
