ClinConnect Summary

The Italian PheNotypes Obstructive Sleep Apnea Study is a research project focused on understanding Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a common condition that causes breathing problems during sleep. OSA can lead to serious health issues if left untreated, including heart and other diseases. This study aims to gather important information about OSA among Italian patients, including how common it is, the symptoms people experience, and any other health conditions that may be linked to it. By collecting this data, researchers hope to create a better understanding of OSA in Italy and develop strategies for earlier diagnosis and treatment.

To participate in the study, you need to be at least 18 years old and suspected of having Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Unfortunately, individuals with unstable psychiatric conditions or those with serious health issues unrelated to sleep apnea may not be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to provide information through questionnaires and undergo sleep studies to help researchers collect data. This information will be used to create a database that can improve OSA care in Italy and help healthcare providers design better prevention and treatment strategies for patients.
