Subjective tiredness does not correlate with the Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index.
CONCLUSIONS: Monosymptomatic patient-reported tiredness should not raise suspicion of obstructive sleep apnoea. Conversely, if obstructive sleep apnoea is suspected, a lack of tiredness should not postpone further evaluation.
FUNDING: none.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: not relevant.
