  • Missed Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome: Analysis of 42 Cases and Literature Review

    Objective To analyze the causes of missed diagnosis of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome ( SAHS) . Methods 42 missed diagnosed cases with SAHS from May 2009 to May 2011 were retrospectively analyzed and related literatures were reviewed. Results The SAHS patients often visited the doctors for complications of SAHS such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, etc. Clinical misdiagnosis rate was very high. Lack of specific symptoms during the day, complicated morbidities, and insufficient knowledge of SAHS led to the high misdiagnosis rate and the poor treatment effect of patients with SAHS. Conclusion Strengthening the educational propaganda of SAHS, detail medical history collection, and polysomnography monitoring ( PSG) as early as possible can help diagnose SAHS more accurately and reduce missed diagnosis.
