Obstructive sleep apnoea: an overlooked challenge in the current NHS Strategy

Implementation should be phased and evaluated prospectively for clinical outcomes, equity, workforce requirements, affordability, and budget impact. A proportionate NHS response should prioritise targeted case-finding within existing chronic-disease pathways, access to validated home-based diagnostics, specialist capacity for complex disease, and sustained treatment support.

Reduced desaturation-based detection of sleep apnea events in self-identified Black individuals across two cohorts

Desaturation-based scoring identified a lower proportion of reduced flow events in Black than White participants, whereas heart-rate-response-based event detection was similar across groups, suggesting oximetry-related under-detection in individuals with darker pigment. To assess racial/ethnic differences in desaturation-based obstructive event detection and cardiovascular risk, and evaluate heart-rate response as an oximetry-independent marker for risk stratification.
