Scientific titleValidation of the Alice PDX Diagnostic System in predicting obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA): a single blind randomised crossover study
Study acronymAlice PDX
Study hypothesisThere will be clinical agreement in the Apnoea Hypopnoea Index (AHI) obtained from simultaneous Alice PDX-in lab and in lab-polysomnographic (PSG) recordings, and the AHI obtained from the PDX-home recording. The differences between the AHI from the PSG and PDX-home will not be greater than two PSGs conducted on two different nights.
Ethics approval(s)1. Germany: Ethik-Kommission in Witten approved on the 17th March 2009
2. France: Comite de Protection des Personnes Ile de France no. 1 approved on the 27th April 2009
ConditionObstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)
InterventionBaseline demographic information will be collected. At baseline symptoms of snoring, sleepiness and associated features of OSA will be captured on the Berlin and Epworth Questionnaires.

Subjects will undergo three sleep evaluations:
1. The Alice PDX will be used at home on one night
2. The Alice PDX will be used at the same time as one of the PSGs in the sleep laboratory on another night
3. A separate PSG will be carried out in the sleep laboratory without the Alice PDX on a third night
The sequence of the sleep evaluations will be determined randomly. All evaluations will take place within a two week period.

As a minimum the following parameters will be obtained:
1. Total recording time
2. Total sleep time
3. Sleep latency
4. Sleep efficiency
5. Sleep stage distribution
6. Arousals
7. Awakenings
8. Apnoea Hypopnoea Index (AHI)
9. Oxygen saturation
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureApnoea Hypopnoea Index (AHI) measured by polysomnography and polygraphy (Alice PDX). Measured over three nights in a random order of either:
1. PDX at home
2. PDX and In-Lab PSG at the same time
3. In-Lab PSG
Secondary outcome measures1. Apnoea
2. Hypopnoea
3. Supine AHI
4. Total recording time
5. Arousals
6. Desaturation

All will be measured by polysomnography and polygraphy (Alice PDX) as detailed for the primary outcome measures.
