Objective
To describe the cost benefit of 4 different approaches to screening for sleep apnea in a cohort of participants with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) receiving inpatient rehabilitation from the payor’s perspective.
Design
A cost-benefit analysis of phased approaches to sleep apnea diagnosis.
Setting
Six TBI Model System Inpatient Rehabilitation Centers.
Participants
Trial data from participants (N=214) were used in analyses (mean age 44±18y, 82% male, 75% white, with primarily motor vehicle–related injury [44%] and falls [33%] with a sample mean emergency department Glasgow Coma Scale of 8±5).
Intervention
Not applicable.
Main Outcome
Cost benefit.
Results
At apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 (34%), phased modeling approaches using screening measures (Snoring, Tired, Observed, Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index, Age, Neck Circumference, and Gender [STOPBANG] [–$5291], Multivariable Apnea Prediction Index MAPI [–$5262]) resulted in greater cost savings and benefit relative to the portable diagnostic approach (–$5210) and initial use of laboratory-quality polysomnography (–$5,011). Analyses at AHI≥5 (70%) revealed the initial use of portable testing (–$6323) relative to the screening models (MAPI [–$6250], STOPBANG [–$6237) and initial assessment with polysomnography (–$5977) resulted in greater savings and cost-effectiveness.
Conclusions
The high rates of sleep apnea after TBI highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment of this comorbid disorder. However, financial and practical barriers exist to obtaining an earlier diagnosis during inpatient rehabilitation hospitalization. Diagnostic cost savings are demonstrated across all phased approaches and OSA severity levels with the most cost-beneficial approach varying by incidence of OSA. |
