Résumé

This study aimed to investigate the indications and outcomes of Home Sleep Testing (HST) for patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), aligning with guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the European Sleep Research Society. Specifically, we aimed to audit whether validated type 3 polygraphy could effectively ensure patient care while optimizing resource utilization. A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from patients undergoing type 3 polygraphy for suspected OSA in a tertiary referral hospital between January 2022 and December 2022. Demographic, clinical, and management data were collected. The efficacy of HST in guiding management plans was evaluated, with outcomes categorized as effective or ineffective based on subsequent need for in-laboratory polysomnography. While 85% of patients received a reliable diagnosis, 44.4% of them still required subsequent polysomnography, primarily due to adherence to funding regulations, rather than clinical need for further testing. Factors impacting the efficacy of HST included patient age, severity of apnea, and referral by a certified sleep specialist physician. Our study highlighted the potential of type 3 polygraphy, as a valuable tool for diagnosing OSA in an outpatient setting. However, having the result interpreted by a certified sleep specialist doctor was not enough. To streamline the care pathway, the referral for polygraphy had also to be made by a trained specialist. Challenges related to funding regulations, patient demographics and physician training stress the need for optimized diagnostic pathways to improve patient care and resource utilization.
