摘要：

OBJECTIVE: To validate the accuracy of the Bedbugg(TM), a new home monitoring device for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Simultaneous sleep monitoring was performed by formal polysomnography and by Bedbugg. Monitoring was performed in a university sleep center in 42 subjects who had previously been scheduled for polysomnography. RESULTS: The correlation for the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) between polysomnography and Bedbugg was r = 0.96. The sensitivity of Bedbugg for detecting an AHI > 15 was 85.7%. The specificity of Bedbugg for detecting an AHI < 15 was 95.2%. CONCLUSION: The Bedbugg device provides an accurate assessment of the apnea-hypopnea index. SIGNIFICANCE: Accurate home monitoring for sleep apnea may provide access to care for a higher proportion of undiagnosed sleep apnea patients.
