PMID 26922093WHAT IT FOUND
No actionable findings.
This paper proposes a theoretical framework for episodic laryngeal breathing disorders and reviews existing models. It does not test diagnosis or treatment in patients.
What this paper is
This is a literature review and theoretical proposal about episodic laryngeal breathing disorders. It describes existing models and suggests an integrated framework, but it does not present patients, outcomes, or tested diagnostic or treatment findings. There is no evidence here to change clinical practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not use the proposed framework as diagnostic criteria or evidence that laryngeal obstruction causes these episodes. It is a theoretical review, not a tested diagnostic or treatment study.
