Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent respiratory sleep disorder that, when left undiagnosed or untreated, can lead to adverse outcomes. There continue to be gaps and variations in screening adults who are high risk for OSA in the primary care setting, leading to many adults in the United States going undiagnosed. As a part of the ongoing American Academy of Sleep Medicine quality measure maintenance initiative, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Quality Measures Task Force reviewed the original screening for adult OSA by primary care physicians quality measure. The measure was updated to further address the adult populations who are at high risk for OSA to ensure that the measure is consistent with the most current medical literature, increasing the likelihood that patients at high risk for OSA are properly screened for the sleep disorder.

目的：阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）是一种常见的呼吸睡眠障碍，如果不进行诊断或治疗，可能会导致不良后果。在初级保健环境中，对患有 OSA 高风险的成年人进行筛查仍然存在差距和差异，导致许多美国成年人未被诊断出来。作为美国睡眠医学学会质量措施维护计划的一部分，美国睡眠医学学会质量措施工作组审查了由初级保健医生进行的成人 OSA 筛查的原始质量措施。该措施已更新，以进一步针对患有 OSA 高风险的成年人，以确保该措施与最新的医学文献保持一致，从而增加对患有 OSA 高风险的患者进行睡眠障碍筛查的可能性。
