1 Home Sleep Apnea Testing and/or Polysomnography Direct Referral Program The CDC and National Institutes of Health estimate that sleep-related problems affect 50 to 70 million Americans of all ages and socioeconomic classes. Approximately 5% of the adult population has undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) which is a known risk factor for hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. We are now offering Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) and in-center Polysomnography through a direct referral program and would like to work with you in monitoring your patients for sleep disorders including OSA. Home Sleep Apnea Testing is appropriate for any patient with a suspicion of OSA that does not exhibit a significant co-morbidity. The cost of an HSAT is about 25% of an in-center polysomnogram and is a covered service of most insurers. Following the HSAT one of Munson Medical Center s six board certified sleep specialists will interpret the home study and provide you and your patient with a comprehensive report and treatment recommendations. Munson Sleep Disorders Center is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and is able to diagnose and treat the full spectrum of sleep disorders. Referring to the Sleep Center is Easy 1. Have your patient fill out the STOP-BANG questionnaire to identify their potential for obstructive sleep apnea. Munson s Sleep Disorders Program recommends the STOP-BANG questionnaire, a standardized, easy-to-use screening tool for clinicians and providers to use in all patient care settings. The tool has been standardized in thousands of preoperative patients and can be used in all patient care settings. It is particularly sensitive in identifying patients with moderate and severe apnea, those patients most at risk for the adverse health consequences of untreated sleep-disordered breathing. 2. Complete the screening tool and referral form and diagnostic requisition/referral (this is the physician order) for your patient. Also include any patient notes specific to sleep issues and provide a demographic sheet from the office. 3. Fax all of these items to the Sleep Disorders Center at (231) For patients identified by the STOP-BANG questionnaire, some will be candidates for in-home testing while others will require in-center polysomnography. We have updated criteria for home vs. in-center sleep studies, keeping the criteria aligned with that of insurance requirements and with the standards of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

5 Facts About Sleep Obstructive sleep apnea is common, with moderate to severe disease present in approximately 9% of middle aged men and 4% of women. The prevalence of OSA in certain patient populations (such as elderly patients, hypertensive patients, patients with coronary disease, and prebariatric surgery patients) is even greater. 1 Sedation, anesthesia, opioids, and REM sleep rebound have been shown to cause worsening of sleep apnea in the perioperative period that may lead to increase in the rate of perioperative complications. It is important to identify these patients preoperatively so that appropriate actions can be taken during their perioperative care. 2 Prospective findings from 4- to 15-year follow-up data indicate that untreated sleep apnea predicts increased blood pressure, hypertension, stroke, depression, and mortality. 3 Obstructive sleep apnea has emerged as an important risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Epidemiologic and clinical evidence has prompted the American Heart Association to issue a scientific statement describing the need to recognize sleep apnea as an important target for therapy in reducing cardiovascular disease risks. 4 Patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnea have a higher recurrence of atrial fibrillation after cardioversion than patients without sleep apnea. Appropriate treatment with CPAP is associated with lower recurrence of atrial fibrillation. 5 A meta-analysis of 15 articles (615 patients) demonstrated significant improvements in all indices of arterial stiffness after CPAP treatment in patients with OSA. 6 Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome significantly increases the risk of stroke or death from any cause, and the increase is independent of other risk factors, including hypertension. 7 Obese women with gestational hypertension have a much higher frequency of sleep-disordered breathing than healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies (53% vs. 12%). 8 Chronic sleep restriction among adolescents is associated with an increase in suicidal risk. 9 Short sleep duration in the natural environment may negatively affect in vivo antibody responses to novel antigens, providing a possible explanation for observed associations of poor sleep with increased susceptibility to infectious disease. 10 Symptoms of sleep deprivation overlap with symptoms of ADHD in children. 11 References 1 (Al Lawati NM, Patel SR, Ayas NT.
