Objective: Efficient diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be difficult
because of time delays imposed by clinic visits and serial overnight polysomnography. In …

BACKGROUND: Standard practice in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) management requires
that a positive diagnostic, overnight polysomnography (PSG) test be obtained before …

OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the clinical implications, predictors and patterns of
residual sleep apnea on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients …

Abstract Study Objectives: To compare a clinical pathway using portable monitoring (PM) for
diagnosis and unattended autotitrating positive airway pressure (APAP) for selecting an …

Abstract Study Objectives: To test the utility of an integrated clinical pathway for obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment …

Objectives: The changes in patient-reported measures of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
burden are largely discordant with the change in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and other …

Background: Polysomnography (PSG), despite limited availability and high cost, is currently
recommended for diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea and titration of effective continuous …

Study Objective: There are limited data on the prevalence of persistent obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) in patients who are clinically asymptomatic with continuous positive airway …

Objective To evaluate the performance of clinical criteria (CC) for diagnosis and initiation of
empirical treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with …

Study Objectives: Poor adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been
a critical issue in treating obstructive sleep apnea. Because long-term CPAP adherence may …
