stop-bang score as a guide for split-night polysomnography
background and objective: stop-bang questionnaire is a well-known obstructive sleep apnea (osa) screening tool. this study aimed to evaluate that patients with high probability of osa in stop-bang questionnaire meet the criteria for assessment by split-night polysomnography (psg). materials and methods: patients who were admitted to three sleep clinics and underwent full-night psg entered into ...
متن کاملHalf-night polysomnography: how is it compared to full-night polysomnography?
I read with interest the paper by FANFULLA et al. [1] on half-night polysomnography (HN-PSG). The authors found that there was a significant difference between apnoeahypopnoea indices (AHIs) recorded in the first and second portion of a standardized full-night polysomnography (FN-PSG). The statistical difference was more significant in patients who did not have rapid eye movement (REM) sleep du...
متن کاملSome Comments on “Split” Supersymmetry
An argument against tolerating finetuning in the Higgs sector is presented, by emphasizing the difference between (well understood) quantum corrections to scalar masses and the (unsolved) problem of the cosmological constant. I also point out that “split” supersymmetry, where all scalars except one Higgs boson have masses many orders of magnitude above the weak scale, is not compatible with sim...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of split-night polysomnography and home studies in the evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Split-night polysomnography (PSG) and unattended home sleep studies have come into use as less-expensive tests for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, but their impact on cost-effectiveness of the overall evaluation and treatment is unknown. We compared the cost-effectiveness of evaluations that employ these 2 procedures with a conventional approach using full-night PSG. METHOD...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of split-night polysomnography and home studies in the evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
Dates to which data relate The effectiveness data used to populate the model came from studies published between 1984 and 2003. The resource use data were derived from studies published between 1990 and 2003 and were augmented by authors' assumptions. The cost data were derived from official sources (Medicare Fee Schedule reimbursement rates) and referred to the year 2004. All costs were report...
