الوصف: This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of a wireless tracheal audio sensor including the sleep body position measurement, as a possible tool to screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and also to distinguish among “positional” and “non-positional” sleep apnea patients. 30 adult subjects were asked to sleep naturally for a single night in the sleep laboratory, having simultaneous polysomnography (PSG) as a reference. The results were compared using, e.g., Pearson's and Lin's correlation coefficients, Bland-Altman plots, mean absolute error, intercept of the fitted linear model etc. We found the thresholding approach performed on normalized audio energy data achieved mean absolute error of 5.7, and average difference was -2.0. Pearson's and Lin's R coefficients were 0.92 and 0.70, respectively. The qualitative approach reached 86% accuracy (sensitivity of 96%, and specificity of 76%) when setting a binary border at the level of AHI = 15 (combined normal + mild versus combined moderate + severe cases). We also checked the distribution of apneas depending on the body position. Our sensor showed a mean = SE difference between supine apnea index and non-supine apnea index of 8.3 ± 3.2, while PSG reference of 11.2 ± 3.8. The proposed sensor might be a good complement for home sleep studies, being less disturbing and allowing for longitudinal observations and reliably showing positional OSA. PSG is the gold standard in diagnosing OSA; however, it requires to spend a night in a lab with medical staff, it provides short observation, the cost of the study is very high, and it is less suitable for children. This is why a reliable screening method is needed in sleep medicine.
