Initial validation of the new browser-based application DREEP for diagnosis of common chronic sleep disorders

ConclusionThis initial validation study has shown that the browser-based application DREEP is adequately able to assess risk and improve the pre-test probability for prescribing further tests in individuals with common chronic sleep disorders, including OSA, PLMD/RLS, and insomnia. In addition, DREEP was able to correctly identify most individuals without these conditions despite a  tendency to overestimate. In a follow-up study, the promising clinical accuracy of DREEP needs to be substantiated by adding a healthy control group.
