RESPONSES FROM OUR LAST COMPASS QUESTION™
In the 06.19.07 issue of Clinical Compass, we asked: "How often do you screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in your male patients who present with complaints of morning headaches, excessive sleepiness, inability to concentrate, and/or dry throat upon wakening?" and the neuroscienceCME learning community responded:
23% - Rarely or never (0% - 25%)
13% - Occasionally (25% - 50%)
30% - Most of the time (50% - 75%)
34% - Routinely (75% - 100%)
