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...
Nightly hypoxia is related to headache and tiredness [11] and SM patients had a slightly lower mean SaO2 during the whole night than NSM patients. However, mean SaO2 did not differ in SM patients compared to controls, and we could not detect any significant difference in the apnea- hypopnea...
Sleep apnea screenings were conducted using a portable monitor. We evaluated the respiratory event index (REI) as the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour during the recording time, with the minimum oxygen saturation. Sleep complaints were assessed using the Pittsburg sleep quality Index (...
sleep apnea, and insufficient sleep should be routinely assessed and treated in patients who are candidates for opioid therapy or who struggle with problematic opioid use. The current data also strongly supports the need for clinical research to test whether improved sleep increases opioid analgesic ef...
Apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) and minimum oxygen saturation (SpO2) were assessed using a portable home monitoring device. We evaluated excessive daytime sleepiness with the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS). Cognitive performance was assessed using the Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST), continuous ...
Inclusion criteria included continuous enrollment coverage for a minimum of 12-months prior to the date of OSA diagnosis (defined by ICD code G47.33) and a diagnostic sleep test (defined by CPT codes for PSGs and HSATs). ADI was measured at state and national levels. Rates of OSA testing...
Dynamic ventilatory response to CO2 in congestive heart failure patients with and without central sleep apnea. J Appl Physiol 91, 408-416.Topor ZL, Johannson L, Kasprzyk J, Remmers JE. Dynamic ventilatory response to CO(2) in congestive heart failure patients with and without central sleep...
The positive SA population was defined by individuals who had both at least one medical claim for sleep apnea diagnosis (ICD codes G4733/G4731) and an appropriate sleep test (CPT codes 9580*/9581*). The logistic regression model was evaluated using randomized 10-fold cross-validation and ...
On this issue, several studies, such as [10] have been published on the screening of pediatric sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome, and the automated classification of glaucoma stages in [11]. Concerning the detection of similarity of movements, in [12,13] although classification patterns were ...
