Actigraphy scoring for sleep outcome measures in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Actigraphy is commonly used to measure sleep outcomes so sleep can be measured conveniently at home over multiple nights. Validity of actigraphy has been demonstrated in people with sleep disturbances; however, validity of scoring settings in people with chronic medical illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease remains unclear. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to compare actigraphy customized scoring settings with polysomnography for measurement of sleep outcomes in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who have insomnia.
