Main results
Of 45,099 patients included (63.3% women, mean age = 43.6 ± 13.5 years and mean BMI = 28.1 ± 65 kg/m2), 26,440 (58.6%) were at high risk of OSA (60.4% female, mean age = 45.1 ± 12.5 years and mean BMI = 30.3 ± 6.7 kg/m2). Of these, 944 booked a TC with a sleep physician among whom 579 had a HSAT. Although more women were at high risk of OSA, they were less likely to have booked a TC (42.5%) and have had a HSAT (41.6%) than men (p < 0.0001).
Impact
These findings highlight the need for further optimization of the proposed hybrid pathway, particularly in engaging at-risk individuals to complete the full screening and diagnosis process.
