Abstract

About 3% of people suffer from sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome SAHS. SAHS is a sleep associated respiratory disorder that negatively affects life quality and life expectancy. It is assumed that more than 80% of SAHS concerned are neither diagnosed nor therapied. Reliable and easy-handling SAHS screening systems are needed. Within this study, the reliability of pulse oximeter as a well-established, non-invasive medical device is examined for SAHS screening. Reliability of existing SAHS screening algorithms will be assessed. Hereby, the focus is on the influence of different desaturation detection strategies and the dependence on thresholds. Critiques on pulse oximetry as SAHS screening device will be responded. In this regard, guideline conform grey area integration in SAHS screening (concerning apnea-hypopnea index AHI between 5 and 15) is recommended. In particular, as by grey area integration an improvement of convenient SAHS screening algorithm reliabilities of about 7.3% in sensitivity and 8.7 % in specificity was achieved even in the most reliable tested algorithm. In a final step, room for improvement of screening results interpretation even without sleep medicine expert skills is indicated. In connection to this, possibilities of short-term frequency analysis of SpO2 data are demonstrated in its prospects for individualized SAHS screening quality.
