Comparisons of Measures Used to Screen for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients Referred to a Sleep Clinic
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) contributes to all-cause mortality. An American Academy of Sleep Medicine task force is focusing on improving detection and categorization of OSA symptoms and severity to promote screening, assessment, and diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to psychometrically compare measures used in OSA screening (Berlin, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), STOP Bang) and a portable sleep monitor (PSM) to apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) levels from polysomnogram (PSG).

The Integration of Pediatric Sleep Health into Public Health in Canada
The concept of sleep health is gaining momentum globally. Rather than “medicalizing” sleep with a focus on sleep disorders and their treatment, there is growing interest in sleep health promotion for all and on the prevention of sleep problems. In Canada, sleep health is increasingly becoming part of a holistic vision of health and provides a metric for health pro motion efforts. One of the outcomes of this evolving understanding of sleep health in Canada has been the release of the world’s first integrated 24-hour movement guidelines for the pediatric population in 2016.

Discrepancies in maternal reports of infant sleep vs. actigraphy by mode of feeding
The objective of this paper is to examine whether night-time sleep parameters of exclusively breastfed or exclusively formula-fed infants differ, and whether correspondence between parental reports and objective measures varies by feeding type. (Source: Sleep Medicine)

Profile of CPAP treated patients in Ontario, Canada, 2006 –2013: a population-based cohort study
Many studies have demonstrated the benefits of treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). However, both recognition of OSA and acceptance of treatment are suboptimal. Current data on CPAP initiation at a population level is lacking. (Source: Sleep Medicine)

Changes in quality of life in individuals with narcolepsy type 1 after the H1N1-influenza epidemic and vaccination campaign in Norway: a two-year prospective cohort study
Cross-sectional studies show a lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals with narcolepsy. We aimed to describe changes in HRQoL after two years of multidisciplinary follow-up in a cohort of mainly post-H1N1 vaccination narcolepsy type-1 (NT1) patients in Norway. (Source: Sleep Medicine)

Rapid Maxillary Expansion in Pediatric Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Current and Future Perspectives
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a chronic disease, characterized by progressively increasing upper airway resistance, with a variable range of symptoms, and high morbidity and mortality rates [1]. About 3% to 10% of children have OSAS, which is defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) greater than one event per hour in polysomnographic (PSG) findings [2]. Enlarged tonsils and adenoids may give rise to this upper airway resistance, thereby contributing towards imbalance between structural and neurological factors and leading to airway collapse [3].

Impact of sex and menopausal status on the prevalence, clinical presentation, and comorbidities of sleep-disordered breathing
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is currently considered as a unique condition, but it has been suggested that the prevalence, clinical presentation, and associated conditions may differ by sex or by menopausal status in women. We aimed to assess the prevalence of SDB and associated comorbidities in pre- and postmenopausal women compared with men. (Source: Sleep Medicine)
