Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: Clinicians often depend on the results of the the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) for diagnosing narcolepsy, but the diagnosis can be confusing when there is a co-existence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study is aimed to address the diagnostic tendency and the strategies of treatment for narcolepsy and other hypersomnia in the grey zone.
Methods: We performed a web-based survey of Korean neurologists who were interested in narcolepsy and had experience with sleep studies.
Results: The results of this survey present their concerns according to the severity of comorbid OSA in analyzing the results of the MSLT.
Conclusions: This study also might help by providing the opinions of experienced Korean neurologists for the assessment and management of excessive daytime sleepiness.
