BACKGROUND: Sleep apnea (SLA) is a commonly encountered sleep disorder characterized by repetitive cessation of respiration while sleeping. In the past few years, researchers have focused on developing less complex and more cost-effective diagnostic approaches for identifying SLA recipients, in contrast to the cumbersome, complicated, and expensive conventional methods.
