Knowledge of obstructive sleep apnoea in final year medical students and junior doctors-a multi-centre cross-sectional study

摘要

Background Sleep medicine is an under-recognised medical specialty in Pakistan and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) often goes unnoticed. Final year medical students and junior doctors are the primary medical contact to elicit patient history and physical examination. We aimed to measure the current knowledge of OSA amongst the final year medical students and junior doctors at four university teaching hospitals across three large Pakistani cities.
