Understanding Your Sleep Study Results: RDI, Desaturation, and Sleep Architecture
The report of sleep polysomnography (also known as the overnight laboratory sleep study) plays such an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders--especially sleep apnea--that every patient who undergoes one should request a copy. It will prove much more interesting and useful if the patient can read the report with some understanding; it should not be that difficult to learn what to make of it, at least in part. Moreover, it can help a lot in relaying information to other doctors who need to know more than just a diagnostic impression given to a patient in a brief discussion with a sleep specialist.

SDB & PLMS: What Does It Mean?
SDB and PLMS, two different causes of sleep disruption, appear to be associated in individuals, and in time. This shows one example of the multifactorial nature of sleep problems.

A Minor Matter of Delay . . .
A recently published research abstract showing the high frequency of accidents and other untoward events during the few weeks' delay between first clinical diagnosis of OSA and first sleep study fails to consider the greater implications of other, longer delays in getting OSA diagnosed and treated.
