Abstract

We thank Dr. Martinez-Garcia and colleagues, as well as Drs. Abreu and Punjabi, for their positive comments and thoughtful insights on our recent research on multinight prevalence and the potential impact of night-to-night variability in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)severity on misdiagnosis (1). Some of the clinically relevant discussion points raised have been eloquently outlined in the accompanying editorial by Dr. Simonds (2). To provide further insights on this important topic as outlined in the letters to the editor, additional commentary and key analyses are provided below.
