Introduction: The prevalence of acromegaly in the general population ranges 4−14/100 000. 45−80% of acromegaly patients have obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The OSA population might represent a target group for earlier detection of acromegaly, thereby reducing associated long-term morbidity.Methods: Patients attending the sleep service (11/2014−04/2018) were recruited in a prospective multicentre cohort study. All had serum IGF-1 measur...
