| RESEARCH: |
12/2008 – current Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center Sleep Center, North Carolina
Clinical Researcher, W. Vaughn McCall, M.D., M.S. Performed retrospective chart review of a hundred polysomnograms. Of patients being screened for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), we were interested to see if insomnia coexisted in our patient population and how the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) performed in predicting sleep apnea. This study involved a retrospective chart review of polysomnographic reports and medical records of patients with a baseline polysomnogram performed at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center Sleep Lab from July 2006 to October 2006. Insomnia severity in this sample showed high rates of insomnia but surprisingly these were not related to degree of OSA. Our findings suggest that while both coexist but we found no support that OSA is a primary cause of insomnia.
