Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that home-based PM is not inferior to standard laboratory-based PSG in effectively diagnosing OSA in urban African Americans.
The specific aims of this project are:
Primary Aims: Aim 1. To compare the validity of a comprehensive and current PM technology to standard in-laboratory full PSG
1a) to measure and compare diagnostic accuracy of home-based PM with laboratory-PSG
1. b) to measure and compare diagnostic accuracy of simultaneous laboratory-based PM with laboratory-PSG Aim 2. To test the reliability and examine the applicability of PM in the home-setting
2. a) to compare diagnostic accuracy of home-based PM with laboratory-based PM
2b) to examine factors associated with technical reliability (data failure rate) of home-based PM 2c) to compare patient satisfaction and preference of testing in home-setting to laboratory-setting
