I am interested to know if the doctor is going to discuss the stand that the Mayo Clinic has on home sleep testing compared to traditional PSG testing?
Also, is there going to be any dicsussion on Oral Appliance therapy as an option to CPAP and or Surgery, and what the outcomes have been like for patients who choose this route on a compliance basis.
Lastly, if its possible to understand what the sleep doctor feels is the main reason that OSA is still so un-diagnosed among primary care physicians it would be great to hear the opinion. It still blows my mind at how many people are walking/falling asleep their whole lives without ever having a diagnosis/screening from primary care with regards to OSA. Of course there are 80 plus other sleep disorders, but since OSA seems to be the reason why 85% or more referrals are sent to sleep docs in the first place, thats the reason for the OSA specific questions. This breathing problem is costing our healthcare system way too much!
thx,
Adam
