Validation study of portable device for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea according to the new AASM scoring criteria: Watch-PAT 100

Abstract

There was a high correlation of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (r = 0.94, p < 0.001) and lowest oxygen saturation (LSAT) (r = 0.90, p < 0.001) between the PSG and the Watch-PAT. A good agreement was also found between PSG AHI, PSG LSAT and PAT AHI, PAT LSAT, respectively. There was a significantly high concordance of the severity of AHI (Kendall tau-b = 0.897, p < 0.001) between the PSG and the Watch-PAT.
