The Spanish Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery &#40;SEPAR&#41; defined SAHS as the appearance of abnormal repeated breathing pauses during sleep&#44; caused by a morphophysiologic alteration in the upper airway which leads to its collapse&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span> Conventional nocturnal polysomnography &#40;PSG&#41; is the most highly recommended diagnostic method&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11-13</span> However&#44; given the prevalence of SAHS amongst the general public<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14&#44;15</span> and the lack of availability of PSG in public health centres in Spain&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span> more simplified and less costly systems have been proposed for the initial diagnosis of patients clinically suspected of SAHS&#46; The better known devices are respiratory polygraphic screening devices &#40;RPSD&#41; that measure respiratory rather than neurophysiological variables&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span> Their diagnostic yield is less than that of PSG and must be expressed in terms of probability&#46; This means each device on the market must be validated against the PSG as the gold standard&#44; and within the population it will be used in&#46; Moreover&#44; the scientific evidence available&#44; although sparse&#44; indicates more studies are needed on simplified systems which can have a high degree of sensitivity and specificity and complement the use of PSG as the diagnostic method in populations with high prevalence such as patients treated at sleep clinics for suspected SAHS&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The objective of the present study was to validate the BREAS SC20 &#40;Breas Medical AB&#44;

The patients were clinically suspected of SAHS following an interview with one of the research group experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders&#46; Patients were asked about the occurrence of snoring&#44; breathing pauses during sleep&#44; asphyxia sensations&#44; daytime sleepiness&#44; and other SAHS symptoms&#46; The following information on patient characteristics was collected&#58; sex&#44; age &#40;years&#41;&#44;

narcolepsy&#44; etc&#46;&#41; or who tested as having less than 180 minutes sleep on the PSG or less than 300 minutes on the RPSD were excluded from the study&#46; With the 60 patients finally enrolled in the study&#44; real differences of 0&#46;1 or more in the intraclass correlation coefficient with a power &#40;1-&#946;&#41; of 0&#46;80 and a type 1 error &#40;&#945;&#41; of 0&#46;05 were detected&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The study was approved by the center&#39;s Ethics and Clinical Trials Committee&#46;

from 11&#58;30 pm to 7&#58;00 am&#44; in the sleep laboratory of the hospital&#46; PSG sensors were set up first&#44; to ensure accurate diagnosis&#46; Both systems were programmed to start and to finish at the same time&#46; In order to ensure that the signal from the nasal cannula would be identical for the PSG and the RPSD&#44; a Y-shaped cannula was devised that branched to the two devices&#44; sending identical signals to each one&#46; Over the following days results were stored and analyzed by different researchers highly experienced in conventional PSG and in several RPSD systems&#46; The analysis was made independently and blind to the results of the other method&#46; The test was considered valid after recording 300 minutes or more for the RPSD and 180 minutes of sleep for the PSG&#46; Time taken over the analysis of the PSG was around 120 minutes&#59; automatic RPSD&#44;

however&#44; it has been suggested that in many cases PSG is not necessary<span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span> and in some cases could even be insufficient&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span> Furthermore&#44; most experts agree that it is a complicated method&#44; highly instrumentalized&#44; and one that needs to be administered by a trained technician&#46; Analysis of the results can also be difficult and time-consuming&#46; Then again&#44; many centers do not have PSGs readily available and there are unacceptably long waiting lists&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Moreover&#44; considering the high prevalence of SAHS and that unfortunately barely 5&#37; of potential sufferers are currently diagnosed&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span> we clearly need to develop simpler and cheaper diagnostic methods than the PSG&#44; the RPSD being the most widely accepted alternative&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17&#44;27</span> RPSDs are cheaper than PSGs&#44; they are easy to operate which reduces the time needed for scoring&#44; they can be attended or unattended during the test&#44; and can be used in outpatient facilities&#46; This makes diagnosis in less specialized centers possible&#44; allowing more diagnoses to be made&#46; However&#44; given the large number of RPSDs designed and produced to this end&#44; the scarcity of validation studies on the systems is surprising&#46; Technological advances occur so quickly that systems that have been validated are replaced by new models that are no longer so&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">A recent systematic review on SAHS diagnosis<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span> examined 25 RPSDs&#44; finding that sensitivity varied from 32&#37; to 100&#37;&#44; and specificity from 33&#37; to 100&#37;&#46; Differences between the diagnostic capacities of the systems&#44; the variables they measure&#44; and the characteristics of the populations the systems have been validated in&#44; mean that validation results cannot be generalized to all RPSDs nor to populations with varying prevalence&#46; Neither can results be generalized between studies carried out in laboratories and others in homes&#46; The RPSD chosen should be appropriately validated in a similar population&#46; Several validity studies comparing PSG with attended and unattended RPSDs have been carried out in Spain&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">28-34</span> and have shown RPSDs to be a sound diagnostic option&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We carried out a validation study on the BREAS SC-20 system&#44; a level 3 RPSD&#44; comparing it with PSG&#44; in a hospital setting and unattended&#46; The study&#44; like others of its kind&#44; showed a tendency to overestimate mild cases and to slightly underestimate the most severe ones&#46; In the group of patients with an AHI &#62;5&#44; the mean AHI was 1&#46;9 &#40;1&#46;5&#41;&#44; whereas the REI was 4&#46;5 &#40;5&#46;9&#41;&#46; The overestimation of REI could be due to the fact that time asleep is not known and doubtful events with the subject awake tend to be counted&#46; On the other hand&#44; REI is divided by the number of recording hours not the number of hours of sleep&#44; which causes the REI to be lower than the AHI &#40;28&#46;1 &#91;24&#46;0&#93; compared with 31&#46;0 &#91;27&#46;6&#93;&#41;&#46; Analysis of the type of events showed that the RPSD tended to underestimate hypopneas &#40;97&#46;8 &#91;100&#46;9&#93; for the PSG compared with 64&#46;6 &#91;62&#46;3&#93; for the RPSD&#41; and to overestimate the apneas &#40;47&#46;0 &#91;81&#46;9&#93; for the PSG compared with 93&#46;2 &#91;109&#46;7&#93; for the RPSD&#41;&#46; This could be due to air escaping from the mouth during the test&#44; resulting in hypopneas being counted as apneas&#44; whereas hypopneas are easier to detect with the PSG&#44; which has both nasal cannula and thermistor&#46; However&#44; the difference between apneas and hypopneas&#44; apart from being a complex definition&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">35</span> is of epidemiological interest but not of great clinical importance&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span> Manual analysis gave better results than automatic analysis&#44; as it has in other studies&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17&#44;28-34</span> though the good results achieved with automatic analysis in this system made the manual analysis easier and quicker&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In practical terms&#44; if the RPSD is considered as a test for ruling out SAHS&#44; &#40;AHI &#60;5 by PSG&#41; the optimum cut point for the REI is 3&#46;6 with a sensitivity of 98&#37; &#40;95&#37; confidence interval 94-100&#41;&#46; This means that the likelihood of disease is low for a patient suspected of SAHS based on clinical picture and with a REI &#62;3&#46;6 &#40;a 12&#37; posttest probability of disease given a negative test&#41;&#46; On the other hand&#44; if RPSD is considered as a test for confirming a diagnosis of severe SAHS &#40;AHI &#8805;30 by PSG&#41;&#44; a patient suspected of SAHS based on clinical picture who has a REI &#8805;31 will very likely have the syndrome&#44; with a specificity of 100&#37; and a 100&#37; posttest probability given a positive test&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In order to carry out a more detailed analysis&#44; we studied the number of patients correctly classified by the system&#44; with scores of 83&#37; to 95&#37; for the various AHI cut points and high x values&#46; RPSD validity was better for high AHI scores&#46; Discrepancy in the classification could occur with low AHI scores&#44; corresponding to patients with fewer therapeutical implications&#46; Revision of the patients incorrectly classified showed that only one was a false negative&#44; with a REI score of 0&#46;31 and an AHI by PSG of 5&#46;2&#44; very close to the critical score defining SAHS&#44; and one that would not have probably changed the therapeutic decision&#46; On the other hand&#44; 2 REI scores by RPSD that confirmed the patient as having SAHS &#40;9&#46;3 and 19&#46;5&#41; were contradicted by PSG with AHI scores of 1&#46;2 and 4&#46;0 respectively&#46; However&#44; neither case would have been classified as severe by RPSD&#46; When results were analyzed considering severity criteria--AHI &#40;PSG&#41; &#8805;30 and REI &#40;RPSD&#41; &#8805;3--6 false negatives became apparent&#59; AHI values by PSG were 31&#46;8&#44; 34&#46;4&#44; 37&#46;2&#44; 41&#46;4&#44; 44&#46;6&#44; and 50&#46;8 corresponding to REI scores of 18&#46;8&#44; 17&#46;2&#44; 25&#46;1&#44; 28&#46;1&#44; 27&#46;6&#44; and 28&#46;4&#46; These patients had sleep efficiency &#40;sleep time&#47;recording time in minutes x 100&#41; of 89&#46;6&#37;&#44; 83&#46;4&#37;&#44; 70&#46;1&#37;&#44; 70&#46;6&#37;&#44; 96&#46;1&#37;&#44; and 73&#37; respectively&#46; For this reason&#44; in cases 3&#44; 4&#44; and 6&#44; low sleep efficiency could at least partly explain the differences between the PSG and the RPSD as well as the tendency of the RPSD to overestimate the severity of these cases&#46; In addition&#44; patient 2 had cardiovascular comorbidity and patients 3&#44; 4&#44; and 6 had concomitant cardiovascular and respiratory disease&#46; The comorbidity variable can make RPSD scoring more difficult&#46; In patients 1 and 5 there was no apparent reason for the discrepancy except for limitation in the RPSD method&#59; nevertheless&#44; it must be pointed out that all 6 patients would have been diagnosed as having SAHS&#44; it was only the degree that was inaccurate&#44; being moderate instead of severe&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The reduced number of subjects was a limitation of the study&#44; a larger sample may modify the results&#46; However&#44; estimation of the sample size using the intraclass correlation coefficient suggests the sample size was sufficient&#46; The results were consistent throughout the analysis&#44; another factor that suggests that a larger sample size would not have made any relevant difference to the results&#46; Another aspect to mention is the high prevalence of SAHS in the sample&#44; and that the study&#44; despite being unattended&#44; was carried out in hospital&#46; Applying these data to a population of different characteristics or using different methods could produce different results&#46; The fact that the PSG and the RPSD were recorded simultaneously prevented any intraindividual variability that would have reduced internal validity&#46; A strength of the study was that the main respiratory flow recording was identical for both methods &#40;PSG and RPSD&#41;&#44; as the signal came through the Y-shaped nasal cannula&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In summary&#44; the BREAS SC-20 RPSD is a valid system for the diagnosis of patients clinically suspected of SAHS&#46; Manual analysis allows patients to be classified according to whether or not SAHS is present and provides a severity index&#46; This RPSD is therefore a good alternative to PSG in the diagnosis of SAHS&#46; However patients with unclear results or who have a high clinical indication of SAHS with a normal or nearly normal RPSD score should consider having a PSG&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Acknowledgments</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We would like to thank Ms Carmen T&#233;llez for her help in enrolling patients&#59;

The Spanish Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery &#40;SEPAR&#41; defined SAHS as the appearance of abnormal repeated breathing pauses during sleep&#44; caused by a morphophysiologic alteration in the upper airway which leads to its collapse&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span> Conventional nocturnal polysomnography &#40;PSG&#41;

The better known devices are respiratory polygraphic screening devices &#40;RPSD&#41; that measure respiratory rather than neurophysiological variables&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span> Their diagnostic yield is less than that of PSG and must be expressed in terms of probability&#46; This means each device on the market must be validated against the PSG as the gold standard&#44; and within the population it will be used in&#46; Moreover&#44; the scientific evidence available&#44;

The patients were clinically suspected of SAHS following an interview with one of the research group experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders&#46; Patients were asked about the occurrence of snoring&#44; breathing pauses during sleep&#44; asphyxia sensations&#44; daytime sleepiness&#44; and other SAHS symptoms&#46; The following information on patient characteristics was collected&#58; sex&#44; age &#40;years&#41;&#44;

from 11&#58;30 pm to 7&#58;00 am&#44; in the sleep laboratory of the hospital&#46; PSG sensors were set up first&#44; to ensure accurate diagnosis&#46; Both systems were programmed to start and to finish at the same time&#46; In order to ensure that the signal from the nasal cannula would be identical for the PSG and the RPSD&#44; a Y-shaped cannula was devised that branched to the two devices&#44; sending identical signals to each one&#46; Over the following days results were stored and analyzed by different researchers highly experienced in conventional PSG and in several RPSD systems&#46; The analysis was made independently and blind to the results of the other method&#46; The test was considered valid after recording 300 minutes or more for the RPSD and 180 minutes of sleep for the PSG&#46; Time taken over the analysis of the PSG was around 120 minutes&#59; automatic RPSD&#44;

however&#44; it has been suggested that in many cases PSG is not necessary<span class="elsevierStyleSup">23</span> and in some cases could even be insufficient&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span> Furthermore&#44; most experts agree that it is a complicated method&#44; highly instrumentalized&#44; and one that needs to be administered by a trained technician&#46; Analysis of the results can also be difficult and time-consuming&#46; Then again&#44; many centers do not have PSGs readily available and there are unacceptably long waiting lists&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Moreover&#44; considering the high prevalence of SAHS and that unfortunately barely 5&#37; of potential sufferers are currently diagnosed&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span> we clearly need to develop simpler and cheaper diagnostic methods than the PSG&#44; the RPSD being the most widely accepted alternative&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17&#44;27</span> RPSDs are cheaper than PSGs&#44; they are easy to operate which reduces the time needed for scoring&#44; they can be attended or unattended during the test&#44; and can be used in outpatient facilities&#46; This makes diagnosis in less specialized centers possible&#44; allowing more diagnoses to be made&#46; However&#44; given the large number of RPSDs designed and produced to this end&#44; the scarcity of validation studies on the systems is surprising&#46; Technological advances occur so quickly that systems that have been validated are replaced by new models that are no longer so&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">A recent systematic review on SAHS diagnosis<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span> examined 25 RPSDs&#44; finding that sensitivity varied from 32&#37; to 100&#37;&#44; and specificity from 33&#37; to 100&#37;&#46; Differences between the diagnostic capacities of the systems&#44; the variables they measure&#44; and the characteristics of the populations the systems have been validated in&#44; mean that validation results cannot be generalized to all RPSDs nor to populations with varying prevalence&#46; Neither can results be generalized between studies carried out in laboratories and others in homes&#46; The RPSD chosen should be appropriately validated in a similar population&#46; Several validity studies comparing PSG with attended and unattended RPSDs have been carried out in Spain&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">28-34</span> and have shown RPSDs to be a sound diagnostic option&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We carried out a validation study on the BREAS SC-20 system&#44; a level 3 RPSD&#44; comparing it with PSG&#44; in a hospital setting and unattended&#46; The study&#44; like others of its kind&#44; showed a tendency to overestimate mild cases and to slightly underestimate the most severe ones&#46; In the group of patients with an AHI &#62;5&#44; the mean AHI was 1&#46;9 &#40;1&#46;5&#41;&#44; whereas the REI was 4&#46;5 &#40;5&#46;9&#41;&#46; The overestimation of REI could be due to the fact that time asleep is not known and doubtful events with the subject awake tend to be counted&#46; On the other hand&#44; REI is divided by the number of recording hours not the number of hours of sleep&#44; which causes the REI to be lower than the AHI &#40;28&#46;1 &#91;24&#46;0&#93; compared with 31&#46;0 &#91;27&#46;6&#93;&#41;&#46; Analysis of the type of events showed that the RPSD tended to underestimate hypopneas &#40;97&#46;8 &#91;100&#46;9&#93; for the PSG compared with 64&#46;6 &#91;62&#46;3&#93; for the RPSD&#41; and to overestimate the apneas &#40;47&#46;0 &#91;81&#46;9&#93; for the PSG compared with 93&#46;2 &#91;109&#46;7&#93; for the RPSD&#41;&#46; This could be due to air escaping from the mouth during the test&#44; resulting in hypopneas being counted as apneas&#44; whereas hypopneas are easier to detect with the PSG&#44; which has both nasal cannula and thermistor&#46; However&#44; the difference between apneas and hypopneas&#44; apart from being a complex definition&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">35</span> is of epidemiological interest but not of great clinical importance&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span> Manual analysis gave better results than automatic analysis&#44; as it has in other studies&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17&#44;28-34</span> though the good results achieved with automatic analysis in this system made the manual analysis easier and quicker&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In practical terms&#44; if the RPSD is considered as a test for ruling out SAHS&#44; &#40;AHI &#60;5 by PSG&#41; the optimum cut point for the REI is 3&#46;6 with a sensitivity of 98&#37; &#40;95&#37; confidence interval 94-100&#41;&#46; This means that the likelihood of disease is low for a patient suspected of SAHS based on clinical picture and with a REI &#62;3&#46;6 &#40;a 12&#37; posttest probability of disease given a negative test&#41;&#46; On the other hand&#44; if RPSD is considered as a test for confirming a diagnosis of severe SAHS &#40;AHI &#8805;30 by PSG&#41;&#44; a patient suspected of SAHS based on clinical picture who has a REI &#8805;31 will very likely have the syndrome&#44; with a specificity of 100&#37; and a 100&#37; posttest probability given a positive test&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In order to carry out a more detailed analysis&#44; we studied the number of patients correctly classified by the system&#44; with scores of 83&#37; to 95&#37; for the various AHI cut points and high x values&#46; RPSD validity was better for high AHI scores&#46; Discrepancy in the classification could occur with low AHI scores&#44; corresponding to patients with fewer therapeutical implications&#46; Revision of the patients incorrectly classified showed that only one was a false negative&#44; with a REI score of 0&#46;31 and an AHI by PSG of 5&#46;2&#44; very close to the critical score defining SAHS&#44; and one that would not have probably changed the therapeutic decision&#46; On the other hand&#44; 2 REI scores by RPSD that confirmed the patient as having SAHS &#40;9&#46;3 and 19&#46;5&#41; were contradicted by PSG with AHI scores of 1&#46;2 and 4&#46;0 respectively&#46; However&#44; neither case would have been classified as severe by RPSD&#46; When results were analyzed considering severity criteria--AHI &#40;PSG&#41; &#8805;30 and REI &#40;RPSD&#41; &#8805;3--6 false negatives became apparent&#59; AHI values by PSG were 31&#46;8&#44; 34&#46;4&#44; 37&#46;2&#44; 41&#46;4&#44; 44&#46;6&#44; and 50&#46;8 corresponding to REI scores of 18&#46;8&#44; 17&#46;2&#44; 25&#46;1&#44; 28&#46;1&#44; 27&#46;6&#44; and 28&#46;4&#46; These patients had sleep efficiency &#40;sleep time&#47;recording time in minutes x 100&#41; of 89&#46;6&#37;&#44; 83&#46;4&#37;&#44; 70&#46;1&#37;&#44; 70&#46;6&#37;&#44; 96&#46;1&#37;&#44; and 73&#37; respectively&#46; For this reason&#44; in cases 3&#44; 4&#44; and 6&#44; low sleep efficiency could at least partly explain the differences between the PSG and the RPSD as well as the tendency of the RPSD to overestimate the severity of these cases&#46; In addition&#44; patient 2 had cardiovascular comorbidity and patients 3&#44; 4&#44; and 6 had concomitant cardiovascular and respiratory disease&#46; The comorbidity variable can make RPSD scoring more difficult&#46; In patients 1 and 5 there was no apparent reason for the discrepancy except for limitation in the RPSD method&#59; nevertheless&#44; it must be pointed out that all 6 patients would have been diagnosed as having SAHS&#44; it was only the degree that was inaccurate&#44; being moderate instead of severe&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The reduced number of subjects was a limitation of the study&#44; a larger sample may modify the results&#46; However&#44; estimation of the sample size using the intraclass correlation coefficient suggests the sample size was sufficient&#46; The results were consistent throughout the analysis&#44; another factor that suggests that a larger sample size would not have made any relevant difference to the results&#46; Another aspect to mention is the high prevalence of SAHS in the sample&#44; and that the study&#44; despite being unattended&#44; was carried out in hospital&#46; Applying these data to a population of different characteristics or using different methods could produce different results&#46; The fact that the PSG and the RPSD were recorded simultaneously prevented any intraindividual variability that would have reduced internal validity&#46; A strength of the study was that the main respiratory flow recording was identical for both methods &#40;PSG and RPSD&#41;&#44; as the signal came through the Y-shaped nasal cannula&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In summary&#44; the BREAS SC-20 RPSD is a valid system for the diagnosis of patients clinically suspected of SAHS&#46; Manual analysis allows patients to be classified according to whether or not SAHS is present and provides a severity index&#46; This RPSD is therefore a good alternative to PSG in the diagnosis of SAHS&#46; However patients with unclear results or who have a high clinical indication of SAHS with a normal or nearly normal RPSD score should consider having a PSG&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Acknowledgments</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We would like to thank Ms Carmen T&#233;llez for her help in enrolling patients&#59;
