Community prevalence of positional obstructive sleep apnea

Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine
The prevalence of positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) in community populations warrants further investigation. Further, more research is needed into the clinical characteristics of its subtypes such as supine predominant OSA (spOSA) and supine isolated OSA (siOSA).A cross-sectional analysis was performed on 1,870 Sleep Heart Health Study ...

Investigation of the “Not Better Explained” Diagnosis Criteria in Sleep Disorder Classifications: A Systematic Content Analysis and Critical Review

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
The “Not Better Explained” (NBE) criterion plays a key role in preventing diagnostic misclassification by structuring causal reasoning in sleep medicine. This systematic content analysis compares the use, wording, and excluded conditions of NBE criteria across the ICSD‐3‐TR and DSM‐5‐TR for ten major sleep disorders.

The Pharyngeal Resistance Index—A Promising Diagnostic Tool in OSA

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the newly developed pharyngeal resistance index derived from computational fluid dynamics analysis of the upper airway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aim was to evaluate this index as a diagnostic and severity assessment tool by comparing it with the apnea‐hypopnea index before and after maxillomandibular
