Diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea by peripheral arterial tonometry: meta-analysis.

TLDR
Respiratory indexes calculated using PAT-based portable devices positively correlated with those calculated from the scoring of PSG, indicating this technology represents a viable alternative to PSG for confirmation of clinically suspected sleep apnea.
Abstract
Overall, correlation of the RDI and AHI was high (r = 0.889 [95% CI, 0.862-0.911]; P < .001). Studies comparing the RDI between PAT and PSG had a combined correlation of 0.879 (95% CI, 0.849-0.904; P < .001); those comparing the AHI, 0.893 (0.857-0.920; P < .001); and those comparing the ODI, 0.942 (0.894-0.969; P < .001). Analysis of publication bias revealed a nonsignificant Egger regression intercept.
