    Abstract

    Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a growing public health concern and a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to disruptions in airflow and intermittent hypoxemia. This condition not only affects the quality of sleep but also poses significant health risks, including cardiovascular diseases, cognitive impairment, and diminished quality of life. As Medical Graduates are the primary doctors who come across such patients, their knowledge and attitude play an important part in identifying risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and complications of OSA. The aim of this study is to access the same in Fresh Medical Graduates and Post Graduate residents in a medical college.
