Journal Club #81: COMISA and all-cause mortality

Description: Fifty years ago, three doctors at Stanford identified patients with a specific overlap of two sleep disorders: insomnia and sleep apnea. Today, there's a name for that specific condition, COMISA, as well as new understanding about its prevalence and impact on overall health and well being. In this month's Journal Club, we'll break down what COMISA looks like, then review recent findings from the LECHAT et al study, which draws its observations from samples of the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort to address all-cause mortality for people who have COMISA. Finally, we'll take a look at how a greater understanding of COMISA can inform our work as sleep technologists in the lab environment.
