Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the importance of addressing gender inequality in diagnosing sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), as existing criteria are often based on male physiology.
- The research analyzed data from 431 patients to compare two diagnostic definitions: AHI-4 and AHI-3A, finding that AHI-3A resulted in significantly higher diagnoses of SDB, particularly in women.
- The findings suggest that using AHI-4 may contribute to underdiagnosis in women, emphasizing the need for more accurate criteria to ensure equal treatment opportunities for both sexes.
