Emerging data suggest that determination of physiologic endotypic traits (eg, loop gain) may enable precision medicine in OSA....
Does a single-night assessment of polysomnography-derived endotypic traits provide reliable estimates in moderate to severe OSA?...
Two consecutive in-lab polysomnography tests from a clinical trial (n = 67; male, 69%; mean ± SD age, 61 ± 10 years; apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] 53 ± 22 events/h) were used for the reliability analysis...
Reliability of endotypic traits between the two consecutive nights was moderate to good (ICC: V...
Endotypic trait analysis using a single standard polysomnography shows acceptable reliability and reproducibility in patients with moderate to severe OSA. The reported MDDs of endotypic traits may fac...
Accelerometers placed on the thigh provide accurate measures of daily physical activity types, postures and sedentary behaviours, over 24 h and across consecutive days. However, the ability to estimat...
(1) Background: Home sleep apnea testing, known as polysomnography type 3 (PSG3), underestimates respiratory events in comparison with in-laboratory polysomnography type 1 (PSG1). Without head electro...
The diagnosis of narcolepsy is based on clinical information, combined with polysomnography (PSG) and the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT). PSG and the MSLT are moderately reliable at diagnosing nar...
We aimed to clarify the accuracy of PSG/MSLT testing in diagnosing NT1 versus controls without sleep disorders. Repeatability and reliability of PSG/MSLT testing and temporal changes in clinical findi...
84 patients with NT1 and 100 patients with non-NT1-hypersomnolence disorders, all with congruent cerebrospinal fluid hypocretin-1 (CSF-hcrt-1) levels, were included. Twenty-five of the 84 NT1 patients...
Confirming results from previous studies, we found that PSG and our modified MSLT accurately and reliably diagnosed hypocretin-deficient NT1 (accuracy = 0.88, reliability = 0.80). Patients with NT1 ha...
Although recent studies have examined the bidirectional associations between physical activity and sleep parameters, few have focused on older adults utilizing objective assessments, such as polysomno...
Attended polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for childhood sleep evaluation. There is, however, only limited information regarding repeated ambulatory PSG in children. We aimed to test whether ...
We recruited healthy children aged 7-14 years to undergo two nights of full level 2 PSG. The PSG equipment was attached at the hospital on the day of the sleep test and all recordings were performed a...
Thirty-three children were recruited of whom 32 children (aged 11 ± 2.1 years) underwent two nights of PSG. All 64 PSGs were technically adequate for sleep evaluation. We found mean sleep efficiency o...
Type 2 PSG recording is feasible for sleep evaluation in children 7-14 years of age producing good data quality. We found no first night effect on PSG variables. www....

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is an increasing health problem in children. The "gold standard" for OSA diagnosis at the moment is overnight polysomnography (PSG). Some researchers think portable moni...
This study aims to determine whether PMs can replace PSG in pediatric OSA diagnosis....
The PubMed, Embase, Medline databases Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched systematically for studies published up to December 2022, evaluating the ability of PMs to di...
A total of 396 abstracts and 31 full-text articles were screened, and 41 full-text articles were chosen for final review. There were 707 pediatric patients enrolled in these twelve studies, and 9 PMs ...
PMs were more sensitive but slightly less specific for pediatric OSA. The combination of PMs and questionnaires appeared to be a reliable tool for the diagnosis of pediatric OSA. This test may be used...
Although aromatherapy is considered an adjuvant therapy to promote sleep quality, few objective sleep testing instruments can confirm the effects of aromatherapy on sleep physiology. The purpose of th...
Participants were randomly divided into the SLEO group and CLEO group in this single-blind trial to explore the sleep effect of essential oil aroma. All the participants completed the sleep-related qu...
Total of 53 participants were recruited for this study, 25 participants were in the SLEO group, and 28 were in the CLEO group. Baseline characteristics and sleep-related questionnaires were similar in...
Both SLEO and CLEO extended TST and SPT, with no significant differences between these two groups. These results warrant practical applications and merit future studies (Clinical trial registration: C...
Abnormal sleep is commonly observed in the ICU and is associated with delirium and increased mortality. If sedation is necessary, it is often performed with gamma-aminobutyric acid agonists such as pr...
Thirty consecutive patients were included. The study was conducted as a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with two parallel groups: 20 patients were treated with dexmedetomidine, an...
To compare the effect of dexmedetomidine versus. placebo on sleep - quality and quantity....
Sleep quality, total sleep time (TST), Sleep efficiency (SE), and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep determined by Polysomnography (PSG)....
Delirium and daytime function determined by Confusion Assessment Method of the Intensive Care Unit and physical activity. Alertness and wakefulness were determined by RASS (Richmond Agitation and Seda...
SE were increased in the dexmedetomidine group by; 37.6% (29.7;45.6 95% CI) versus 3.7% (-11.4;18.8 95% CI) (p < .001) and TST were prolonged by 271 min. (210;324 95% CI) versus 27 min. (-82;135 95% C...
Total sleep time and sleep efficiency were significantly increased, without elimination of REM sleep, in mechanically ventilated ICU patients randomized to dexmedetomidine, when compared to a control ...
To evaluate the prevalence of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and its possible prodromal conditions, isolated dream enactment behavior (DEB) and isolated REM without atonia (RWA), in a general popul...
From a population-based prospective cohort in Korea, 1,075 participants (age 60.1 ± 7.0 years; range 50-80 years; men 53.7%) completed the RBD screening questionnaire (RBDSQ), a structured telephone i...
RBD was diagnosed in 20 participants, isolated RWA in 133 participants, and isolated DEB in 48 participants. Sex and DEB frequency-adjusted prevalence of RBD was 1.4% (95% CI 1.0%-1.8%), isolated RWA ...
