Given that sleep is critical for neural repair and disordered sleep may play a role in slowing
functional recovery and prolonging rehabilitation, early detection of sleep apnea is critical.
Minimal guidance exists informing TBI and sleep medicine physicians regarding assessment of
sleep disorders in the acute rehabilitation setting. The Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality’s (AHRQ) Comparative Effectiveness Review highlighted insufficient comparative
effectiveness evidence for diagnostic and screening tools for sleep apnea. This symposium will
present primary and secondary analyses from a Patient Centered Outcomes Research
Institute’s Comparative Effectiveness clinical trial of sleep apnea screening and diagnostic tools
during hospitalization.
