ABSTRACT
Introduction: The gold standard for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea
syndrome (OSAHS) is the polysomnography, and it is not a diagnostic tool for
another sleep breathing disorders, so that it is necessary to implement predictive
scores to differentiate those patients who have more risk of suffering OSAHS,
therefore they need a polysomnography. The aim to this study was to validate the
NoSAS score and Berlin scale in relation to the polysomnography type 1, in patients
who have the clinical suspicion of OSAHS.
Material and methods: Diagnostic tests
study. 264 patients underwent polysomnography, and the NoSAS score and Berlin
scale were applied to them. After that, the diagnostic tests analysis was done and
the performance of each one of them was calculated in relation to the apnea- hypopnea
index (AHI).
Results: The sensitivity of the NoSAS score for an AHI ≥ 20
was 88.57%, confidence interval (CI) 95% (80.4-96.74), specificity 56.70 %, CI
95% (49.47-63.93), and the negative predictive value (NPV) was 93.22, CI 95%
(91.70-99.82). For Berlin scale the sensitivity was 81.43%, CI 95% (71.60-91.25),
specificity 58.76%, CI 95% (51.58-65.95) and NPV 89.76%, CI 95% (89.08-98.32).
Conclusions: It was shown that NoSAS score and Berlin scale have a good sensitivity
to rule out people who have less OSAHS risk. A patient classified as low risk,
probably is healthy or at low risk for moderate to severe OSAHS and would not
require an initial polysomnography.
