[Sleep-related breathing disorders--a second edition of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-2) of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM)].
In 2005 the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) published a revised form of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-2). Goals of the ICSD-2 are: A) To describe all currently recognized sleep and arousal disorders, and to base the descriptions on scientific and clinical evidence. B) To present the sleep and arousal disorders in an overall structure that is rational and scientifically valid. C) To render the sleep and arousal disorders as compatible with ICD-9 and ICD-10 as possible. In this article, sleep-disordered breathing disorders, as classified in the ICSD-2 are presented.
