| Short Description of Instrument |
A task force of sleep experts divided in revision workgroups (insomnia, circadian rhythm sleep wake disorders, sleep related breathing disorders, parasomnias, hypersomnolence and movement disorders) established diagnostic criteria for sleep disorders according to current knowledge in the field.
The classification provides a unique code number for each sleep disorder so that disorders can be efficiently tabulated for diagnostic, statistical, and research purposes. The primary aim of the text is to provide useful diagnostic information.
|
| Comments/Special Instructions |
Diagnosed criteria depend on the specific nature of the disorder. Some may include only clinical history (e.g., insomnia, advanced sleep-wake disorder) while others require polysomnography (REM sleep behavior disorder) or biological features (narcolepsy).
|
| Scoring and Psychometric Properties |
N/A - There is no scoring for these criteria as they are intended to serve as guidelines for diagnosing sleep disorders.
|
| Rationale/Justification |
Strengths: Based on expert opinion.
