| Abstract |
A significant minority of otherwise healthy adults may suffer from disordered breathing during sleep. The commonest problem, known as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS), results in poor quality sleep, daytime hypersomnolence and excess risk of road traffic crashes. It is also associated with occupational injuries. OSAS can be successfully treated, reducing costs of hospitalisation. There is a gap in the literature regarding the burden of patients with OSAS in primary care, particularly because there is no agreed method for screening. |
