Abstract: | Purpose Different devices have been used for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which differ in the number of sensors used. The numerous sensors used in more complex sleep studies such as in-lab polysomnography may influence body position during sleep. We hypothesized that patients submitted to in-lab polysomnography (PSG) would spend more time in the supine position than patients submitted to an ambulatory Portable Monitor (PM) sleep study. Methods Body position during PSG and PM studies was compared among two distinct groups of patients matched for age, body-mass index (BMI), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and gender. Predictors of time spent in the supine position were determined using a multiple linear regression model. Results Of 478 participants who underwent either PSG or PM studies, mean age: 61[43-66] years; males: 43.9%; BMI: 28.4[26.1-31.1]kg/m(2); AHI 14[7-27] events/hour). Participants who underwent PSG studies spent more time in the supine position (41[16-68]% than participants who underwent PM studies (34[16-51]%), P = 0.014. Participants with OSA spent more time in the supine position than participants without OSA, both among the PSG and PM groups P < 0.05). Gender, BMI, OSA severity, and sleep study type were independent predictors of time spent in the supine position. Conclusion In-lab PSG may increase time spent in the supine position and overestimate OSA severity compared to a PM sleep study. OSA diagnosis is also associated with increased time spent in the supine position. The potential influence on the sleeping position should be taken into account when choosing among the different sleep study types for OSA diagnosis. |
