| Research Abstract |
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), including obstructive sleep apnea increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Moreover, because it may lead to mo¬tor vehicle and public transportation accidents. SDB is therefore consid¬ered a problem requiring attention from both clinical and public health perspectives. However, there is controversy regarding the value of treatment for SDB patients free of symptoms. Using a Markov model, we examined the cost-effectiveness of screening for SDB in Japan. SDB screening was found to be cost-effective in the simulations, if society is willing to pay between 20,000 pound sterling and 30,000 pound sterling per 1 Quality-adjusted life year (QALY), which is the threshold used by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
