The efficacy of portable-monitor (PM) sleep testing in children is not well understood. While most studies have evaluated PM in a lab setting, the utility of PM in the home environment is relatively unknown. We sought to determine whether home PM accurately diagnoses obstructive sleep apnea in adolescents and to assess patient satisfaction with home PM sleep testing.
