Results:198 patients who referred to the Sleep Disorders Center and had been evaluated for Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) were enrolled
OSA is a complex entity that has serious cardio-metabolic complications[1,2] with a severe impact on the patient’s quality of life and requires multidisciplinary approach, on the other hand, it is a treatable pathology with an important influence on morbidity and mortality [3]
Summary
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a pathology increasingly prevalent, is a complex treatable syndrome that impact morbidity and mortality with serious cardiovascular and metabolic consequences. The interest for this pathology has increased in last decades the syndrome remains underdiagnosed. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is the most frequent sleep breathing disorder with an increasing prevalence in last decades, but largely underdiagnosed and undertreated. We hypothesis that identifying the main predictors for OSA will lead to the development of prediction formula that will help prioritizing patients to sleep study and treatment by the probability of severity of the disease
