CONCLUSIONS: In this real-world study, ESS scores decreased as PAP use increased, but EDS remained highly prevalent even among highly adherent patients. Adherence was associated with greater patient satisfaction with HCPs and overall care, whereas persistent EDS was associated with lower patient satisfaction with HCPs and overall OSA care.

In conclusion, we reported two siblings with variable phenotypes of Glut1 DS with a novel nonsense mutation. Although sleep disorder and daytime somnolence were the nonclassical manifestations of Glut1 DS, the diagnostic evaluation of possible Glut1 DS in patients presented with daytime sleepiness, particularly in cases with the cooccurrence...
Current Management of Residual Excessive Daytime Sleepiness Due to Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Insights for Optimizing Patient Outcomes - Neurology and Therapy

Although excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) attributable to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be resolved by consistent usage of and effective treatment (often with the use of continuous positive airway pressure...
Key Summary Points: Despite optimal treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure, a fair proportion of patients have residual excessive daytime sleepiness (REDS); prevalent globally, REDS remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. The multifactorial pathophysiologic mechanisms of REDS involve the chronic...
