Photoplythesmographic Signal to Screen Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Acute Stroke Patients: Feasibility of a Prospective Clinical Pathway (P1.181)

Our screening strategy hypothesizes that inpatient ODI can be a potentially cost-effective method for early recognition of SDB in acute stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Lim-Hing has nothing to disclose.
