Application accuracy of the sleep decision tree to standardized patient cases by physiotherapists: An observational study

Conclusions: Physiotherapists were able to accurately apply a sleep decision tree to simpler patient cases but were frequently unable to apply it to more complex patient cases. This may be due to lack of education, perceived ease of using, and relevance of the sleep decision tree to their clinical practice. The sleep decision tree may aid physiotherapists in assessing sleep health, screening for sleep disturbances, and referring for further assessment.PMID:34101527 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2021.1926024
