A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather comprehensive data on the prevalence, clinical presentation, and comorbidities associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in the Italian population. By collaborating with various sleep centers endorsed by the Italian Scientific Society of Sleep Medicine, the study will assess different physiological and clinical patterns of OSA among Italian patients. The methodology includes polysomnography to evaluate sleep patterns and identify OSA characteristics. The findings will help fill the knowledge gap regarding OSA in Italy, which has been previously under-researched compared to other European regions.
