Phase 1
Introduction: An estimated 30 percent of adults (20% of men and 10% of women) in the US have sleep apnea. Approximately 60% of patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are also diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The suggested mechanism of this is damage to the brain due to hypoxia during sleep. Few studies have investigated the effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment for OSA, on mild cognitive impairment.
Methods: Patients are screened for eligibility based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Potentially eligible patients who screen positive for MCI using the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status …

Phase 1
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a largely underdiagnosed disorder of upper airway collapse during sleep. Primary care providers do not routinely screen for OSA. This project aims to determine the yield of using the STOP-BANG questionnaire to identify previously undiagnosed OSA in a primary care population.
Methods: This prospective quality improvement pilot project included 181 patients of the Jefferson Department of Family Medicine identified as high-risk for OSA based on 3 EMR-based search criteria taken from STOP-BANG: hypertension, age >50 years, and BMI >35 kg/m2. We attempted contact with patients by mail, followed by up to …
