Identifying obstructive sleep apnea in geriatric outpatients with neuropsychological testing.

This retrospective investigation involved geriatric memory clinic patients with RBANS scores that were lower in immediate memory compared to delayed memory and evidence of snoring that resulted in a referral for a sleep study. The finding of OSA in 80% of the patients evaluated, and the comparable results of male and female patients suggests that all patients who snore and have this unique RBANS profile should be assessed for OSA.
