Comparing manual and automatic scoring of sleep monitoring data from portable polygraphy.

We used sleep monitoring data from a study that investigated the prevalence, characteristics, risk factors and type of sleep apnea (SA) in 579 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Surviving decentralisation? Impacts of regional autonomy on health service provision in Indonesia.

The paper aims to assess the impacts of decentralisation and privatisation reforms on access to and quality of health services in Indonesia.
