More zzz’s needed to catch sleep apnoea
✦AI Summary
A study by Flinders University suggests that single-night sleep studies may be insufficient for accurately diagnosing obstructive sleep apnoea due to nightly variability. Researchers recommend multi-night measurements to better capture the severity of the condition and reduce diagnostic errors.
Obstructive sleep apnoea is a common disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep and is generally found with snorers. It is linked to serious health risks including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and reduced quality of life, yet remains difficult to accurately diagnose.
