Abstract
Study objectives
To evaluate whether or not the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) from a peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) home sleep apnea test (HSAT) is equivalent to the AHI provided by the mean of one, three, or seven nights from the Withings Sleep Analyzer (WSA) under-mattress device.
Methods
We prospectively enrolled patients with suspected OSA in whom a PAT-HSAT was ordered. Eligible patients used the WSA for seven to nine nights. PAT data were scored using the device’s intrinsic machine learning algorithms to arrive at the AHI using both 3% and 4% desaturation criteria for hypopnea estimations (PAT3%-AHI and PAT4%-AHI, respectively). These were then compared with the WSA-estimated AHI (WSA-AHI).
Results
Of 61 patients enrolled, 35 completed the study with valid PAT and WSA data. Of the 35 completers 16 (46%) had at least moderately severe OSA (PAT3%-AHI ≥ 15). The seven-night mean WSA-AHI was 2.13 (95%CI = − 0.88, 5.14) less than the PAT3%-AHI, but 5.64 (95%CI = 2.54, 8.73) greater than the PAT4%-AHI. The accuracy and area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) using the PAT3%-AHI ≥ 15 were 77% and 0.87 and for PAT4%-AHI ≥ 15 were 77% and 0.85, respectively. The one-, three-, or seven-night WSA-AHI were not equivalent to either the 3% or 4% PAT-AHI (equivalency threshold of ± 2.5 using the two one-sided t-test method).
Conclusions
The WSA derives estimates of the AHI unobtrusively over many nights, which may prove to be a valuable clinical tool. However, the WSA-AHI over- or underestimates the PAT-AHI in clinical use, and the appropriate use of the WSA in clinical practice will require further evaluation.
