….Clinical practitioners are rather faithful to the medical proverb “the anamnesis provides 80% of the information“. They treat no single value. As soon as they research, however, their view changes. Then, easily communicable objective values are the hit. And yet, the precision of such values is virtually unlimited. Still detectable changes and differences are too small to be meaningful for patients; nevertheless, they can be statistically significant! Who can say, for instance, if breathing additional 500 ml air per sleeping hour is sufficient to increase the sleep quality of persons with obstructed airways?
With this in mind, interpreting objective findings by means of patient-centered anamnestic information is a worthy endevour. Mr. Gelbke, Ms. Kettner, Ms. Leggewie, Dr. Bahr, Dr. Döge, Dr. Huppertz, Dr. Gouveris, and I investigate how much the nocturne air flow must increase to relieve the majority of the patients with obstructive sleep apnea. More information is available at the sleep laboratory of the othorinolaryngolocic clinic of Mainz, the German Clinical Trials Registry (DRKS00017471), and the World Health Organisation (U1111-1234-9801). What are your experiences?
