|August 1, 1983
Abstract:
The use of home monitoring of nocturnal penile tumescence has potential advantages if it can reliably replace full somnographic recording. However, little is known of the relationship between home monitoring and full somnographic recording. The present study compared 26 records from 13 patients. Each record was scored independently by two evaluators, and the results indicate that home monitoring can lead to overestimation of NPT and errors in etiologic diagnosis.
