title: Decision making in obstructive sleep-disordered breathing: putting It all together
abstract: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing consists of a spectrum ranging from the upper airway resistance syndrome to complete apnea. Although this disorder is relatively common, it is still under-recognized, resulting in a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. This article describes the rationale for treating this disorder. Then, using the best available evidence, develops a systemic approach to the problem, covering recognition, diagnosis, and treatment.
