Abstract

Abstract In Australia, unmet demand for sleep study services is resulting in protracted waiting lists and treatment delays for those in need. This present study gauged efficiency gains that could be achieved by implementing a split‐night protocol within the laboratory. Results demonstrate improved technical efficiency by at least 15%, reducing time to treatment for the most severe cases and increasing patient throughput within the clinic. With over 56 000 sleep studies carried out annually, this technique has significant utility in evidence‐based practice. (Intern Med J 2005; 35: 251–254)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
