Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD), developing before chronic hypercapnia appears. Polysomnography (PSG) is the diagnostic gold standard but is often impractical and poorly accessible for individuals with NMD. We sought to determine the diagnostic accuracy, feasibility, and patient preference of home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) compared with PSG for the detection of SDB in NMD.
