The ApneaLink is an ambulatory sleep monitor that can detect OSA and/or hypopnea with acceptable reliability. The screening and diagnostic capability needs to be verified by further evaluation and manual scoring of the ApneaLink. It could be a better choice than traditional oximetry in terms of recording respiratory events, although severity may be under- or overestimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
