Abstract：

The lecture focuses on the need for new ways to diagnose sleep disordered breathing, aside from the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). It will combine the current short-comings on Sleep Dx as there are of today and report about ideas how to improve and advance the diagnostic picture. For sure that will include snoring and respiratory effort.
