OVERVIEW

The webinar will cover the differences and challenges of diagnosing women with obstructive sleep apnea, how sleep-disordered breathing presents differently in women, the anatomical variations that contribute to these differences, and how at-home PSG testing could lead to better accessibility for accurate diagnoses in women. It will cover these questions and other topics:

• What are the biggest obstacles when it comes to diagnosing women with OSA?
• How do women present differently from men when it comes to OSA symptoms? Why do women present differently?
• The anatomical features  in women that might lead to OSA
• Are women more likely to be missed or underdiagnosed with OSA. If so, why?
• When women undergo home sleep testing, are they more likely to get a false negative result? If so, why and any recommendations for how healthcare providers can overcome this?
