Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a frequently underdiagnosed sleep disorder marked by recurrent episodes of apnea and/or hypopnea during sleep, primarily resulting from the partial or complete collapse of the upper airway. OSAS significantly affects patients' health and quality of life. Additionally, it is a recognized risk factor for inducing microsleep episodes during daily activities, particularly in occupations such as professional driving, where sustained attention is critical.

Objective/background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease, which poses a significant health threat. Initial diagnostics with polygraphy or polysomnography are time consuming and expensive. Therefore, there is an unmet medical need for simplification, especially to exclude healthy patients from elaborate and unnecessary diagnostics.

Purposes: To evaluate whether mandibular advancement device therapy is recommended in patients affected by obstructive sleep apnea.
Methods: In order to predict oral appliances therapy response, drug induced sleep endoscopy with cardio-respiratory polygraphy and mandibular advancement device simulator was carried out. Patients in which upper airway obstruction was resolved on all levels and AHI was normalized (< 5/h), were referred for oral appliance therapy.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of a two-stage screening model for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in primary care that combines the STOP-BANG questionnaire (SBQ) with an automated home sleep apnea test (HSAT).
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2018 to August 2022 in four Slovenian primary care practices. It included 153 randomly selected patients aged 18 to 70 years who visited the practice for any reason.

ENT department, University Hospital of Liege, Liege, Belgium.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the indications and outcomes of Home Sleep Testing (HST) for patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), aligning with guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the European Sleep Research Society. Specifically, we aimed to audit whether validated type 3 polygraphy could effectively ensure patient care while optimizing resource utilization.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from patients undergoing type 3 polygraphy for suspected OSA in a tertiary referral hospital between January 2022 and December 2022.
