Abstract:

The International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD) renamed and redefined the term ′obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome′ (OSAHS) in 2005 and 2014; however, Chinese nomenclature still retains the term OSAHS. The term OSAHS is suggestive of the basic obstructive etiology of snoring, a necessary background of sleep, ａ typical feature of apnea and hypopnea, and ａ manifestation of a syndrome. The naming of OSAHS also reveals the clinical characteristics and diagnostic points of the condition, which seems reasonable. However， the word also reduces some misunderstanding because there are no real obstruction of upper airway, no real stop of breathing, and no clear boundary between apnea and hypopnea. As OSAHS has a clearly defined etiology and mechanism, characteristic symptoms and signs, diagnostic criteria, and effective treatments, it should be considered as an independent disease rather than a syndrome. The nomenclature of snoring disease in traditional Chinese medicine is much more refined and appropriate than OASHS.

Key words: Snoring, Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, Pathological conditions, signs and symptoms
