title: Should everyone be monitored for upper-airway resistance and how?
abstract: Preliminary data indicate that the use of a morphometric model, an expert system with standardized questions, and an evaluation of snoring can be effective tools for diagnosing upper-airway sleep-disordered breathing (UASDB) in many cases. This eliminates the need for many sleep recordings.
