Article Abstract
Sleep apnea is nowadays recognized as a treatable chronic disease and awareness of it has increased, leading to an upsurge in demand for diagnostic testing. Conventionally, diagnosis depends on overnight polysomnography in a sleep clinic, which is highly human-resource intensive and ignores the night-to-night variability in classical sleep apnea markers, such as the apnea-hypopnea index. In this review, the authors summarize the main improvements that could be made in the sleep apnea diagnosis strategy; how technological innovations and multi-night home testing could be used to simplify, increase access, and reduce costs of diagnostic testing while avoiding misclassification of severity.

Prevalence and characteristics of treatments for sleep disordered breathing in people receiving dialysis: a scoping review.

Background: Individuals with kidney failure experience elevated cardiovascular risk, potentially worsened by the presence of sleep disordered breathing. Despite this association, prevalence of sleep apnoea, and evidence for effective treatments are poorly understood in people with kidney failure. This review examines sleep apnoea prevalence, types of sleep apnoea, and treatment interventions in people with kidney failure receiving dialysis.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and liver fat accumulation. However, the specific mediating role of liver-related metabolic indicators in this association has not been fully studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR) and OSA, focusing on the mediating effects of liver fat percentage (PLF) and hepatic steatosis index (HSI).

Neuromuscular diseases are often accompanied by various types of sleep-related breathing disorders, which can exacerbate the underlying condition and are associated with a poor prognosis. Early identification is essential, and interventions such as non-invasive ventilation, oxygen therapy, and respiratory rehabilitation should be initiated promptly to mitigate disease progression and improve outcomes. Nevertheless, the rates of missed and misdiagnosed cases remain common in clinical practice.

Neuromuscular diseases (NMD) are frequently associated with various forms of sleep-disordered breathing, yet these conditions are often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed in clinical practice. To address this issue and improve standardization in clinical care, the Sleep Disorder Group of Chinese Thoracic Society has assembled a multidisciplinary panel to develop the This article summarised the consensus, focusing on two key areas: (1) the diagnostic and therapeutic workflow, and (2) management strategies for sleep-disordered breathing in patients with NMD. The aim was to support clinicians in effectively applying the consensus to guide its diagnosis and treatment in practice.
