Home oximetry
In patients who are at high likelihood of having OSA, a randomized controlled trial found that home oximetry may be adequate and easier to obtain than formal polysomnography. High probability patients were indentified by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) of 10 or greater and a Sleep Apnea Clinical Score (SACS) of 15 or greater.
