Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Interventions
Device: Testing with a portable sleep apnea monitor .
Registration Number
NCT01424592
Lead Sponsor
Cook County Health
Brief Summary

Hypothesis: Portable sleep testing of hospitalized medical inpatients suspected of having OSA is accurate in determining the need for positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy when compared to outpatient laboratory-based polysomnography.

* Hospitalized medical inpatients referred for suspected OSA will be tested with a portable sleep apnea testing device during hospitalization.

* These patients will then undergo an outpatient laboratory-based attended polysomnography after hospital discharge.

* Results of the inpatient portable sleep apnea test will be compared to the outpatient laboratory-based polysomnography in terms of diagnostic accuracy.
