Screening for obstructive sleep apnea in the memory clinic: A comparison of questionnaires, pulse oximetry, and polysomnography
The findings suggest that while the SBQ may be unsuitable to detect moderate or severe OSA for older adults with cognitive impairment, oximetry may be a viable screening tool. Given OSA treatment can optimize sleep and may slow cognitive decline, routine screening for OSA should be part of memory clinic assessments.
