- Title
Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults.
- Authors
Gottlieb, Daniel J.
- Abstract
Although OSA is common in both settings and is associated with worse clinical outcomes, the benefit of screening for and treatment of OSA in these settings remains to be demonstrated. The objective of the updated systematic review was to "review the evidence on screening for OSA in asymptomatic adults or those with unrecognized OSA symptoms...."[8] For the truly asymptomatic patient, the USPSTF recommendation is sensible, even for most patients with known cardiovascular illness. However, while much remains to be learned about the potential benefits of screening for asymptomatic OSA, this should not deter clinicians from identifying and appropriately managing the care of the many symptomatic patients whose OSA symptoms are currently unrecognized.
