AHRQ releases CER on OSA
The Agency for Health Research and Quality, an agency within the US Department of Health and Human Services recently published the results of a comparative effective review on the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in adults.
The purpose of the study was to review the medical literature to see which of the various diagnostic and treatment options currently available are the most effective for obstructive sleep apnea.
The agency has made available a wealth of information from the study, including the research review - http://tinyurl.com/OSA-CER - a clinican guide to obstructive sleep apnea in adults - http://tinyurl.com/clinician-OSA and a consumer guide - http://tinyurl.com/consumer-OSA.
Patients have choices and having information will help them make the right choice for themselves.
