Health care complexity includes dimensions of patient comorbidity and the level of services needed to meet patient demands. Home sleep apnea tests (HSAT) are increasingly used to test medically uncomplicated patients suspected of having moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Patients with significant comorbidities or other sleep disorders are not candidates for HSAT and require attended in-center polysomnography. We hypothesized that this trend would result in increasingly complex patients being studied in sleep centers.
