Is it true that home sleep apnea tests diagnose obstructive sleep apnea about as accurately as in-lab polysomnography in high-risk patients?
Partly. Several small or population-specific studies report that home sleep apnea tests show substantial agreement with polysomnography or can reliably diagnose sleep apnea, while other reviews note limitations and nondiagnostic results requiring follow-up PSG. No retrieved item directly compares HSAT and in-lab PSG accuracy in high-risk adults at the strength the claim asserts.
