متن کاملDiagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Parkinson's Disease Patients: Is Unattended Portable Monitoring a Suitable Tool?
Purpose. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD) and may contribute to nonmotor symptoms. Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for OSA diagnosis. Unattended portable monitoring (PM) may improve access to diagnosis but has not been studied in PD. We assessed feasibility and diagnostic accuracy in PD. Methods. Selected PD patients without known OSA underwent ho...
