Data are presented as n/# respondents performing test type (%). †Effect of lab location on any testing reduction: P = .036; adult diagnostic PSG: P = .023; adult titration reduction: P = .032; pediatric testing reduction: P = .053; HSAT reduction: P = .001; effect of US region on HSAT reduction: P = .017. PSG = polysomnography, HSAT = home sleep apnea testing, NE = northeast, SE = southeast, MW = midwest, SW = southwest; the one respondent from Puerto Rico was not included in the regional US analysis.
