AU - Kotecha, Bhik PY - 2016 TI - Otorhinolaryngological aspects of sleep-related breathing disorders JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 8, No 2 (February 01, 2016): Journal of Thoracic Disease [(dedicated to) the International Conference: Clinical Update Sleep 2016] Y2 - 2016 KW - N2 - Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are disorders within a wide spectrum of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD). Given the obesity epidemic, these conditions will become increasingly prevalent and continue to serve as a large economic burden. A thorough clinical evaluation and appropriate investigations will allow stratification of patients into appropriate treatment groups. A multidisciplinary team is required to manage these patients. Patient selection is critical in ensuring successful surgical and non-surgical outcomes. A wide range of options are available and further long term prospective studies, with standardised data capture and outcome goals, are required to evaluate the most appropriate techniques and long term success rates.
