Abstract

Chronic obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common disease in Denmark but is still grossly underdiagnosed. This is concerning, as OSA predisposes to serious conditions such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and early death. Awareness of OSA and identification of patients suspected of OSA is of utmost importance in order to initiate relevant treatment and prevent long-term morbidity and mortality. Primary treatment of OSA in Denmark is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), while surgery and mandibular advancement devices are the first choice for selected patients and should always be considered for patients who fail CPAP treatment, as argued in this review.
