Abstract
This article provides the current state of evidence on the socioeconomic impact of portable testing (PT) for sleep apnea. It seems the traditional in-laboratory polysomnography and the newer home-based PT model for sleep apnea diagnosis both have places in sleep medicine diagnostic algorithm. PT would be cost-effective in a selected group of patients as long as certain criteria, discussed in this article, are carefully considered.Entities:
