Under the control of a physician, the implantable device may be programmed to administer different types of responsive therapies to evaluate whether certain therapies are more effective at treating apnea than others. For instance, a pacing therapy that results in lowering the average apnea duration ...
Despite increased awareness of sleep hygiene, over 80% of sleep apnea cases remain undiagnosed, underscoring the need for accessible screening methods. This study presents a method for detecting sleep apnea using data from the Apple Watch's inertial measurement unit (IMU).#An algorithm was ...
When these minimum requirements are met, the at-home test can produce a summary measurement to help detect sleep apnea. Examples of summary measurements that can be provided by at-home devices include: Apnea hypopnea index (AHI):The AHI is the number of two types of breathing disturbances dete...
Home sleep testing (HST) is an increasingly popular way to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (and in some cases, screen for other sleep disorders) remotely. As opposed to spending the night in a sleep lab, the patient is able toself-administeran HST from the comfort of their own home at a...
This systematic review to support the 2022 US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement on screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in
Measurement of blood levels (serum and plasma) of leptin as a biomarker for the development of OSAS;or Measurement of central corneal thickness, intra-ocular pressure, and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness for grading severities of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS);or ...
Because we used a photoelectric sensor, the main parameter that influenced our measurement results was light. However, there are many environmental factors that can cause changes in light, such as the degree of fitting of the finger to the sensor, which means that we must choose the appropriate...
Our results show significant improvement in the ability to detect sleep apnea events compared to a rule-based classifier that uses the same classification features and also compared to two previously published studies for automated apnea detection using the same respiratory flow signal. We use 96 ...
Also excluded were those who reported a current inflammatory disorder, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, illness, or infection (eg, autoimmune disease, type 1 diabetes mellitus, hepatitis C, cancer, or acute infection in the past 2 weeks). Procedures Participants who responded to the ...
Few clinical studies have explored altered urinary metabolite levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Thus, we applied a metabolomics approach to analyze urinary metabolites in three groups of participants: patients with polysomnography (P
