Multiple nights of sleep monitoring improve obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis

Single-night sleep apnea tests may misclassify patients due to night-to-night variations. New research suggests multiple nights of monitoring provide a more accurate diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) than standard single-night studies. This variability can lead to under- or overestimation of disease severity. Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder linked to serious health risks. This study challenges current diagnostic methods, advocating for repeated measurements for more personalized care.
