Rate of Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Patients with Apparent Resistant Hypertension Attending a Tertiary Care Hospital

There was a low rate of screening for OSAS among patients with ARH at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, which may explain the lower-than-expected prevalence observed. Contrary to published literature, OSAS was more frequently diagnosed in women, who were screened more often, suggesting that OSA may be underdiagnosed in men.
