Discrepancy in Polysomnography Scoring for a Patient with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome

Abstract: Overnight polysomnography (PSG) is indispensable for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. However, studies on interscorer agreement on PSG scoring between laboratories are few. The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of interscorer agreement on PSG scoring among 16 sleep laboratories in Japan. We found a relatively moderate interscorer reliability of the index of oxygen desaturation and arousal during sleep, but a relatively low reliability of the index of transient reductio… Show more

“…Lower values indicate stability whereas higher values indicate greater night-to-night variability (Rowe et al, 2008). Several other researchers have, in recent years, also recognized the utility of this variability measure of sleep Merklinger-Gruchala, Ellison, Lipson, Thune, & Jasienska, 2008;Suzuki et al, 2005;Tryon, 2005).…”

“…Overnight sleep studies, diagnostic PSG, and manual CPAP titration were carried out as published previously (Suzuki et al 2005). Briefly, we simultaneously performed electroencephalography (EEG, C4/A1, C3/A2), electrooculography (EOG), submental electromyography (EMG), and electrocardiography (ECG) using surface electrodes, and measured air flow at the nose and mouth using a thermistor, respiratory movements of the rib cage and abdomen by inductive plethysmography, and percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) using a finger pulse oximeter.…”

“…However, not only between hypopneas and normal breathings, but also between apneas and hypopneas does interchangeable misidentification sometimes occur because of variability in the definitions of the degree of reduction of the airflow or respiratory effort when scoring breathing events [7]. On the other hand, the Pes swing at the inspiratory peak during sleep is an absolute value and rarely influenced by the differences in the scorers or methods of detection.…”
