Abstract
Quality of life (QoL) is one of the outcomes that can be measured as a component of the required standards for sleep facility accreditation by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Utilization of a psychometrically robust QoL instrument is recommended; however, clinicians face a challenge balancing psychometric properties with questionnaire completion and scoring characteristics. This article provides an overview of common QoL instruments as a reference for clinicians when selecting a QoL tool for use in the clinical setting for adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
