The MWT is used to evaluate the subject’s response to treatment of or interventions for conditions (not necessarily diseases) that are associated with excessive sleepiness. It is also used to assess the level of alertness in individuals who must remain awake for safety reasons.
As with the MSLT, rigorous protocols should be applied before and during the execution of the MWT (table 2). Adequate sleep should be documented using a sleep log and/or actigraphy for 2 weeks before testing. The test should be performed when the subject is clinically stable and when planned treatments or interventions are well-established and eective. In patients with SDB, the ecacy of and adherence to PAP therapy should be assessed before testing; where this is suboptimal, treatment should be adjusted and the MWT should be rescheduled. Considerations regarding comorbid sleep disorders as well as concomitant medication are similar to that previously described for MSLT.
The need to perform PSG on the night before the MWT is controversial and is usually le to the discretion of the clinician. However, there are a number of circumstances in which performing PSG before the MWT has been suggested to be useful, as reported in table 4.
The definition of normal values in the MWT is even more controversial than in the MSLT. The literature suggests that the mean± sleep latency for normal controls is

30.4±11.2 min. As each trial is stopped at 40 min there is an obvious ceiling eect. According to the AASM, a MSL of <8 min is the cut-o for pathological sleepiness, compared with ≥30 min for normal alertness. A MSL of 8–30 min is therefore considered a ‘grey zone’. Dogramji et al. (1997) proposed alternative normative values for the definition of sleep latency:
When sleep latency is calculated as the first period of any sleep stage: short
latency, MSL<12.8 min; borderline latency, MSL 12.8–32.6 min; normal latency, MSL 32.6–40 min.
When sleep latency is calculated as at least three consecutive periods of sleep
stage 1 or a single period of another sleep stage: short latency, MSL <19.4 min; normal latency, MSL >35.2 min.
In addition to sleep latency, which is the main result of the MWT, very short episodes of sleep (microsleeps) may occur during the test, which could be more sensitive markers of sleepiness as they reflect drowsiness, i.e. the intermediate state between wakefulness and established sleep. Drowsiness preceding sleep is associated with a lack of control and maybe a crucial determinant of car accidents. The latency of the first microsleep during the MWT is shorter than sleep latency, and in some patients, there is a large dierence between the latencies. It is worth noting that many subjects experience a number of microsleep episodes before the onset of sleep, particularly those with shorter sleep latencies. In contrast, isolated episodes of microsleep may occur in subjects who do not reach sleep during the trial. It has also been shown that normal subjects may display episodes of microsleep during extended monotonous tasks or aer partial sleep deprivation, with the prevalence of microsleep estimated to be 53–80%.
The OSLER
The OSLER has been proposed as an alternative to the MWT in order to overcome some of the diculties encountered during the latter’s use: the need for EEG monitoring, the necessary attendance of a technician during the test, the length of time needed for analysis, the requirement of a standard sleep room, etc. The OSLER makes it possible to use non-assisted portable techniques to measure the subject’s ability to maintain wakefulness.
As reported in table 2, the test consists of four trials, each lasting 40 min, with a similar procedure to that of the MWT. The occurrence of sleep is assessed behaviourally rather than via EEG monitoring. The standard way to analyse the OSLER is to determine the sleep latency, calculated as the time from the start of the test and the appearance of seven consecutive flashes without response. Research demonstrated that OSLER is a sensitive test for identifying sleepiness in OSA patients and fluctuation in vigilance throughout the day, but normative data are not available.

based on an individualised patient approach
Sophia E. Schiza, Winfried Randerath and Özen K. Basoglu
OSA is a highly prevalent disorder that aects millions of adults worldwide. Despite its high prevalence, many cases remain undiagnosed and untreated, impairing patient quality of life and increasing the risk of adverse events, morbidity and mortality. This risk can be reduced with appropriate management of the disorder. Early diagnosis and eective treatment of OSA is therefore an urgent health priority.
The gold standard diagnostic test for OSA relies on in-lab all-night PSG, which is expensive, time-consuming and labour-intensive. As most sleep laboratories face long waiting lists, further delays in diagnosing OSA increase disease burden. Given these shortcomings, it would be useful to develop diagnostic algorithms based on an individualised patient approach for patients with suspected sleep apnoea, which could reliably determine a priori probability before PSG is considered, and could prioritise patients who required PSG in accordance with the probability of a positive result. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) supported this idea in its latest guidelines. The guidelines recommend that clinical tools, questionnaires and prediction algorithms can be more helpful in identifying patients with an increased OSA risk, rather than using them to diagnose OSA in the absence of PSG.
Dierent approaches have been used in order to predict whether an individual has OSA. As several clinical risk factors are associated with OSA, such as male sex,
Key points
• OSA diagnosis is based on comprehensive sleep evaluation using screening questionnaires or clinical prediction models and appropriate diagnostic testing.
• Diagnostic algorithms that are based on an individualised patient approach may establish a priori probability before considering PSG, and prioritise patients in need of PSG.
• Portable monitoring devices exhibit good diagnostic performance in adult patients with a high pre-test probability of moderate-to-severe OSA.
• PSG is recommended for diagnosis of OSA in adult patients suspected of having comorbid sleep disorders or sleep disorders other than OSA.
• PSG is recommended in patients with significant medical conditions.

older age, obesity and neck circumference, it is possible to predict the condition by taking only these simple and readily available predictors into consideration. High levels of sensitivity or specificity can also be achieved, depending on whether a rule­out or rule-in approach is chosen.
Additional clinical parameters (such as laboratory blood tests, physical measurements, history of comorbidities, self-reported symptoms and other routinely available medical information) may also be useful when prioritising patient referral in further sleep studies. Several recent studies reported that OSA can occur in association with a variety of comorbidities, some of which represent risk factors for OSA, such as CHF, arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, diabetes, pulmonary hypertension (PH) and chronic lung diseases, including COPD, asthma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
OSA should be also suspected in patients who experience EDS, snoring, witnessed apnoeas, waking with choking and nonrestorative sleep, particularly in the presence of risk factors such as obesity, male sex and advanced age. However, patients with a high clinical suspicion of OSA and significant comorbidities may be asymptomatic or have sleep disorders other than OSA, such as comorbid insomnia.
Taking into consideration all of the above in today’s rapidly digitising world, machine learning could be used for extracting available patient data from electronic health records or real-time physiological data from connected wearable devices, in order to develop powerful diagnostic frameworks.
In order to develop a more personalised approach to patient evaluation and to identify the pre-test probability of OSA, cluster analysis (a statistical method for investigating the relationship between groups of patients or variables) could also be used to determine whether there are dierent subgroups of patients with distinctive clinical presentations, or phenotypes. Dierent clusters created from predictive variables express dierent disease risks, consequently allowing the definition of phenotypes with a high risk for OSA.
Clinical phenotypes of OSA have been defined based on the clinical characteristics of the disease, by combining anthropometrics, sleep data and comorbidities, such as patients with EDS and/or insomnia, minimally symptomatic patients, those with few or no comorbidities, elderly patients, female patients, supine- and/or REM-predominant patients, etc. However, these clinical phenotypes may present with atypical clinical features, leading to misdiagnosis of another sleep disorder. Furthermore, although OSA phenotypes may be considered as a reflection of the disease’s early manifestations and natural history, OSA is not stable and evolves over time, necessitating additional research into evaluating phenotyping fluctuations and determining their long-term diagnostic implications. Therefore, a comprehensive sleep evaluation along with dierent screening questionnaires should be always be performed for the identification of patients with a likelihood of SDB. Several questionnaires are used to assess sleepiness (e.g. the ESS), sleep quality (e.g. the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) and the pre-test probability of OSA (e.g. the STOP, STOP-Bang and Berlin questionnaires). The STOP-Bang Questionnaire has the highest sensitivity for detecting OSA but appears to lack specificity.
Aer screening with appropriate questionnaires or clinical prediction models for the probability of OSA, diagnostic sleep testing is imperative in adult patients suspected to having SDB.
It is worth noting that the optimal diagnostic approach in patients with suspected CSA is less well-established, as the current methods of identifying sleep apnoea based on

patient history and clinical risk factors fail in these patients. Although male sex, age, HF and chronic opioid use are established risk factors for CSA, there are no clinical symptoms, physical examination findings or serological abnormalities that are specific to CSA. In addition, screening questionnaires for OSA have not been validated in CSA patients. The heterogeneity of CSA mandates an individualised diagnostic approach, and patients with atypical symptoms along with risk factors for CSA should undergo an attended in-laboratory PSG.
According to the AASM guidelines, PSG is the gold standard diagnostic test for the diagnosis of OSA in adult patients with suspicion of sleep apnoea based on a comprehensive sleep evaluation. PSG should also be performed for the diagnosis of OSA in patients with negative or technically inadequate portable monitoring (PM) results. The AASM guidelines further assert PSG to be used for the diagnosis of OSA in patients with significant cardiorespiratory disease (e.g. CHF and COPD), potential respiratory muscle weakness due to neuromuscular conditions, awake hypoventilation or suspicion of sleep-related hypoventilation, chronic opioid medication use, history of stroke or a suspected sleep disorder other than OSA (e.g. CSA, severe insomnia, parasomnia, narcolepsy). However, this process requires an overnight stay, a sleep technician and manual scoring, and elderly patients may encounter accessibility diculties. Thus, less expensive, portable diagnostic tools may be considered. In selected adult patients with suspicion of OSA, portable devices (also referred to as home sleep apnoea testing (HSAT), out-of-centre sleep testing (OCST) or PM) can be used as an alternative to in-laboratory PSG for the diagnosis of sleep apnoea.
In uncomplicated patients who present with signs and symptoms that indicate an increased risk of moderate-to-severe OSA, PSG or polygraphy (PG) can be used for OSA diagnosis. Increased risk is defined as the presence of EDS and at least two of the following clinical features of OSA: habitual loud snoring; witnessed apnoeas, gasping or choking; and diagnosed arterial hypertension. Patients who work in a mission-critical job in which falling asleep would have a major negative impact on the patient and others (e.g. healthcare workers, pilots, bus/taxi/truck/train drivers, soldiers, police ocers) should be tested using attended in-laboratory PSG so that OSA diagnosis is not missed.
Selection of the appropriate diagnostic test (PSG or PG) in patients with mild OSA is a controversial issue. Mild OSA is highly prevalent in the general population, and most patients are asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic; however, its clinical significance remains uncertain. For most patients with suspected mild OSA, in-laboratory PSG is the diagnostic test of choice, as portable diagnostic techniques measure total recording time rather than sleep time and do not reliably identify arousals, thereby potentially underestimating AHI.
In order to improve sleep apnoea diagnosis and treatment, patients should initially be screened using comprehensive sleep history-taking, sleep questionnaires and ambulatory monitoring devices with oximetry and/or airflow (type IV devices). The goal here is to develop clinical prediction models. Patients with a high pre­test probability of OSA can then be identified and referred to a sleep centre for PG. Patients with low pre-test probability of OSA along with minimal or no symptoms and a high risk of CVD could also be referred for PG. In this two-step approach, if the suspicion of OSA remains and PM is negative or technically inadequate, in­laboratory PSG can be performed (figure 1). PG should not be used when sleep disorders other than OSA, such as CSA or severe insomnia, are suspected; PG use is also inappropriate for screening patients with significant comorbidities or mission­critical workers.

To develop a full picture of portable assessment, further studies are needed to clarify its use in patients with a low pre-test probability of OSA, as well as in specific populations, such as dierent ethnic groups, children, elderly patients and female patients.

sleep tests to increase pre-test probability
Sophia E. Schiza, Winfried Randerath and Marta Drummond
The vast heterogeneity in the clinical presentation, predisposing factors, pathophysiological mechanisms and consequences of sleep apnoea (OSA and CSA) requires a diagnostic approach that is personalised to each disease and takes into account the pre-test probability of each disease. A two-step process in which patients are first screened with a comprehensive sleep history and sleep questionnaires, and are then assessed with ambulatory monitoring devices, could increase the pre-test probability of OSA and facilitate the referral of high-risk patients to a sleep centre for diagnostic study (figure 1).
However, pre-test probability itself is challenging to determine. For that reason, several scientific societies have accepted the complementary role that simplified sleep study methods play in improving the estimation of pre-test probability. Devices have been developed that can be used as a screening tool for OSA or as an aid for OSA diagnosis, increasing the pre-test probability of moderate-to-severe OSA. These tools include type III and type IV devices. Type III devices record at least four cardiorespiratory signals (which include airflow, chest movement, pulse oximetry, and heart rate or electrocardiogram), without using electrophysiological signals to measure sleep. Type IV devices use only one or two recording channels, one of which is generally oximetry.
The use of type III devices for OSA screening has increased greatly due to their lower cost, lower technical complexity and greater convenience when compared with PSG. When combined with appropriate clinical pre-screening tools (e.g. the STOP-Bang Questionnaire) they can be used as a screening or ‘disease-finding’ tool for OSA diagnosis in both uncomplicated patients and in patients with CHF, hypertension and
Key points
• Limited sleep tests have been developed that can be used both as a screening tool and as a diagnostic aid for OSA, increasing the pre-test probability of moderate-to-severe OSA.
• Their application as a screening tool should also be considered in populations where OSA is highly underdiagnosed and in patients with significant comorbidities.
• Patients and recordings must be reviewed in an accredited sleep centre under the supervision of a board-certified sleep medicine physician.

stroke. Concerns have been raised about the limitations of these devices: technical failures have been encountered (dislodged sensors, poor-quality signals due to a lack of real-time signal visualisation); they do not measure sleep variables; and they are unable to detect hypopneas associated with arousals. Moreover, there are no universally defined technical standards in place for these devices. Nevertheless, they are convenient and accessible when used as a screening tool. It is important to note that patients should be reviewed by medical practitioners who are certified in sleep disorders, so that the complexities of the clinical assessment of OSA can be fully explored and comorbid conditions can be identified.
Type IV monitoring devices can also be used for screening purposes, allowing a more simplified home testing than PSG, at a lower cost. Type IV devices typically record one to two variables and provide limited information. The most commonly measured physiological variables are pulse oximetry and airflow. Consequently, extracted information typically includes: frequency of apnoeas; frequency of hypopnoeas; baseline oxygen saturation (S duration of oxyhaemoglobin desaturation; degree of oxyhaemoglobin desaturation; and nadirs of S of both PSG and type III study, can be a useful adjunct to patient history and physical

Furthermore, novel technologies, such as mandibular movement monitoring with machine learning analysis, show promise as valid surrogates for sleep staging and respiratory pattern evaluation, maximising the screening ability of type IV devices. In settings and populations where demand is high and the capacity of PSGs is limited, type IV devices can prioritise patients and increase early OSA identification and prompt management. It is also worth noting that type IV devices could be also used in populations where OSA is highly underdiagnosed, including patients with significant comorbidities, ensuring that patients and recordings are reviewed in an accredited sleep centre under the supervision of a board-certified sleep medicine physician.
