Sleep report parameters and calculations.
Accurate interpretation of a polysomnogram is based on a sleep parameters report generated from the scored sleep stages and clinical events. Understanding the calculations necessary to verify the accuracy of the digitally produced PSG evaluation report ensures that the interpreting physician has the necessary information to formulate an impression and make recommendations. This chapter provides definitions of the sleep report parameters and the calculations to verify accuracy.
