Guide to Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The Aviisha Guide to Obstructive Sleep Apnea
According to current estimates, at least 1 in 5 Americans (60 million) has mild OSA and 1 in 15 (20 million) has moderate-to-severe OSA (Young et al. 2007). OSA is the second most common sleep disorder and referrals for sleep studies have increased 12-fold in the past 10 years (Lettieri 2009). Despite its alarmingly high prevalence, OSA remains undiagnosed in approximately 92% of affected women and 80% of affected men (Young et al. 1997).
