Long-Term Survival, Quality of Life, and Quality-Adjusted Survival in Critically Ill Patients With Cancer.

Objectives: To assess the long-term survival, health-related quality of life, and quality-adjusted life years of cancer patients admitted to ICUs.

Design: Prospective cohort.

Setting: Two cancer specialized ICUs in Brazil.

Comparison of full versus short induced-sleep polysomnography for the diagnosis of sleep apnea.

Objectives/hypothesis: Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold-standard method for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the gap between demand and capacity in performing PSG is a major health-care problem. We sought to validate a short day-time induced sleep for the diagnosis of OSA.
