Sleep disturbance in smokers with preserved pulmonary function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
This study compared the magnitude and correlates of sleep disturbance between smokers with preserved pulmonary function and those with airflow obstruction. It found that among smokers with clinically identified chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the severity of sleep disturbance is greater among those with preserved pulmonary function compared to those with airflow obstruction. Non-respiratory symptoms, such as depression, were associated with sleep disturbance in both groups.

Tonsillectomy for obstructive sleep-disordered breathing: a meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis compared sleep, cognitive or behavioral, and health outcomes of tonsillectomy versus watchful waiting with supportive care in children with sleep-disordered breathing. It determined that, relative to watchful waiting, most studies reported better sleep-related outcomes in children who had a tonsillectomy.

Screening for obstructive sleep apnea in adults: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The effectiveness of stool-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is contingent on colonoscopy completion in patients with an abnormal fecal immunochemical test (FIT). This study found that FIT positive patients never referred to gastroenterology or who missed their appointment after referrals were more likely to have comorbid conditions and documented illicit substance use compared with patients who completed a colonoscopy.

Stakeholder-engaged measure development for pediatric obstructive sleep-disordered breathing: the obstructive sleep-disordered breathing and adenotonsillectomy knowledge scale for parents.
The researchers developed a measure of parental knowledge about obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (oSDB) and adenotonsillectomy (AT). An 85-item prototype measure and 39-item modified measure were evaluated for consensus/approval and psychometric integrity Five themes (oSDB symptoms, treatment options, AT risks, anesthesia, and AT benefits) and 39 items composed the final scale.

Risk of sleep apnea in hospitalized older patients.
This study assessed the prevalence of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among general medical inpatients and to investigate whether OSA risk is associated with in-hospital sleep quantity and quality. It found that two of every 5 inpatients older than 50 years screened at high risk for OSA. Those screening at high risk have worse in-hospital sleep quantity and quality.
