Contribution of pulse oximetry in relation to respiratory flow events in a home-based approach aimed at diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea

Objective: To compare pulse oximetry with manual analysis against all signals of respiratory polygraphy. Material and Methods: This retrospective study estimated sensitivity (S), specificity (Sp) and positive/negative likelihood ratio (LR+/-) of the oxygen desaturation index...
