¸ñÀû: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of insurance coverage on the
prescription patterns and diagnostic outcomes of polysomnography (PSG)
across multiple institutions in South Korea. By analyzing changes in
medical utilization and diagnostic trends, we sought to assess how
expanded coverage has influenced clinical decision-making in sleep
medicine. ¹æ¹ý:A retrospective multicenter study was conducted using data from 20
institutions. We analyzed PSG prescriptions before and after the
introduction of insurance coverage, assessing changes in the volume of
PSG tests performed, patient demographics, diagnostic outcomes, and
associated treatment patterns. Statistical comparisons were made to
determine significant shifts in clinical practice. °á°ú:Following the expansion of insurance coverage, the number of PSG
prescriptions increased significantly across all participating
institutions. The proportion of patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) also showed a notable rise. Additionally, there was a shift
in the severity distribution of diagnosed cases, with a higher proportion
of mild-to-moderate OSA cases being identified post-coverage. Changes in
subsequent treatment decisions, such as increased prescriptions for
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, were also observed. °á·Ð:The inclusion of PSG under insurance coverage has led to a substantial
increase in test utilization and a shift in diagnostic outcomes,
particularly in the identification of OSA cases. These findings highlight
the significant role of insurance policies in shaping medical practice
and patient care in sleep medicine. Further research is warranted to
evaluate the long-term impact on treatment adherence and clinical
outcomes. |
