Specialised Care Improves Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Sleep Apnoea
Obstructive sleep apnoea patients who visited and received care from sleep specialists in accredited sleep centres have better treatment outcomes, according to a new study. These patients were most two times more likely to adhere to continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
Dr Sairam Parthasarathy, associate professor of medicine at the University of Arizona, says that the study demonstrates that sleep center accreditation and sleep medicine board certification are important determinants of patient-centered quality metrics such as adherence to PAP therapy, patient satisfaction, patient education and timeliness of care delivery. Certified sleep specialists have specialised training and expertise to give high quality patient care.
