Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) conveys a substantial global public burden due to its high prevalence and causative relationship with cardiometabolic diseases. The current diagnostic reliance on the apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) is insufficient to address the complex, multifaceted condition, and a revision of the standard criteria is urgently needed. Together with a better understanding of the clinical, pathophysiological, and sleep diagnostic phenotypic characteristics, this will pave the way to personalised, holistic treatment approaches.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sleep Research is dedicated to basic and clinical sleep research. The Journal publishes original research papers and invited reviews in all areas of sleep research (including biological rhythms). The Journal aims to promote the exchange of ideas between basic and clinical sleep researchers coming from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines. The Journal will achieve this by publishing papers which use multidisciplinary and novel approaches to answer important questions about sleep, as well as its disorders and the treatment thereof.
