Poor long-term patient compliance with the tennis ball technique for treating positional obstructive sleep apnea.

TL;DR: Long-term patient compliance with TBT appears to be very poor, with less than 10% of patients reporting continued use approximately 30 months after prescription, with most TBT non-compliers reporting it to be too uncomfortable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of Gender on Associations of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Symptoms with Chronic Conditions and Quality of Life.

TL;DR: Men are less likely than women to be diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared to women with typical OSA features in women, including obesity, depression, and loud snoring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population-based analysis of sociodemographic predictors, health-related quality of life and health service use associated with obstructive sleep apnoea and insomnia in Australia

TL;DR: In this article, a large representative community-based study (n=2977 adults) used logistic regression models to examine predictors of self-reported sleep apnoea and current insomnia and linear regression models were used to examine the association of these sleep conditions with both mental and physical components of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and health service use.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in men varies markedly according to definition criteria

TL;DR: Inclusion of co-morbidities in the ICSD-3 criteria does not notably increase OSAS prevalence over that determined by OSA symptoms alone, and better identification of who is at long-term risk from OSA-related complications is needed to define significant OSA.
