Detection of sleep apnea by case-finding and home monitoring with Somnolter®: a pilot study.

Reliability of self-reporting of antibiotic consumption in the community - Index of Reliability.

What Is Known And Objective: To date, there is no evidence to indicate the reliability of how patients self-report their own antibiotic usage in the community. Such data are fundamental in supporting antimicrobial stewardship practices, and so there is a need to determine its accuracy and reliability.

Comment: Patients in the community (n = 476) were required to recollect their antibiotic usage in the past three months.
