Chapter 14. Sore Throat
Using throat culture to confirm negative RADT is reserved for patients who are at higher risk for severe infection or complications, patients in close contact with individuals at high risk for complications, patients living in college dormito­ries or other settings, and patients living in an area where acute rheumatic fever is endemic [1].

Treatment

Group A strep pharyngitis is self-limited and resolves without treatment; however, treatment (Figs.14.3 and 14.4) is to pre­vent complications which include suppurative (bacteremia, cervical lymphadenitis, endocarditis, mastoiditis, meningitis, otitis media, peritonsillar/retropharyngeal abscess, and pneu­monia) and nonsuppurative (poststreptococcal glomerulone­phritis and rheumatic fever).
Sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, and tetracyclines have a high rate of resistance and failure to eradicate the organisms from the pharynx.
Patients with GAS generally improve within 3–4days and are no longer contagious after 24h of antibiotics.

Symptomatic Treatment

Systemic oral therapy is effective at reducing the pain of acute pharyngitis. Acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti­inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remain the two most stud­ied. NSAIDs appear to be more effective than acetaminophen. Topical therapies are an alternative for patients who are at higher risk for side effects from it. The use of glucocorti­coids for the treatment of sore throat pain is generally not suggested due to the potential for serious side effects com­pared with the slight reduction in the duration of sore throat pain [12].
Clinical Pearls
• Use the modified Centor Score to guide testing.
• Rapid antigen detection tests should be reserved for con-
cern about starting antibiotics [6].
• Throat culture remains the standard for bacterial pharyn-
gitis [6].
• Empirical antibiotic use should be limited to patients who
are severely ill and no improvement within 5 days of
presentation.
286
L. Ciuffo
• Red flags include rigors, inability to swallow, stridor, muf-
fled voice, respiratory distress, and tripod position.
Don’t Miss This
• Evaluate for serious complications in patients presenting
with drooling, dysphonia, muffled voice, and neck
swelling.

Sleep Apnea

Introduction

Sleep disorders are very common in the primary care setting. Sleep deficiency/deprivation is a common health problem in the United States. Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is estimated to be around 3% among women and 10% among men 30–49years of age; and 9% among women and 17% among men 50–70years of age, with approximately ~24 million undiagnosed [1–3]. Based on the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-3), insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in the general population fol­lowed by sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome and central sleep apnea [4].

ICSD3 Classifies Sleep Disorders into Seven Major Categories [4]

1. Insomnia
2. Sleep-disordered breathing disorders
3. Central disorders of hypersomnolence
4. Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder
5. Parasomnias
6. Sleep-related movement disorder
7. Other sleep disorders
Sleep apnea is classified as obstructive sleep apnea/hypop-
nea syndrome (OSAHS) and central sleep apnea (CSA).

Prevalence

Obstructive sleep apnea prevalence varies widely, with 9–38% having OSA (AHI 5 events/h). It is also seen more in men and in the elderly. Moderate to severe forms of OSA with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI of 15 events/h) in the general population ranged from 6 to 17% and as high as 49% with advanced age [5].

Sleep History

In addition to general medical, surgical, family, caffeine intake, and medication history (specifically herbal remedies or over-the-counter medications), the focused sleep history should include a general question about excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) or fatigue (including history of sleepiness while driving and accidents), difficulty falling asleep at night or maintaining sleep, sleep latency, snoring, nocturnal awak­enings, witnessed apneas, sleeping position (lateral, supine, or prone), resuscitative snorts, restless legs, limb movements (noted by the partner), bedtime, wake time, daytime naps, sleep paralysis, and cataplexy.

Screening Questionnaires toAssess theRisk ofOSA
Commonly used questionnaires to assess the risk of OSA are the Epworth sleepiness score with STOP-Bang questionnaire [6, 7].

Epworth sleepiness score (ESS) is the most widely used in clinical practice to evaluate the severity of sleepiness. Developed by Murray Johns at Epworth Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, this validated an eight-item question­naire about the person’s chance of dozing in differing circum­stances. Dozing probability is designated as none (0), slight [1], moderate [2], or high [3] for eight situations [8], which are sitting and reading, watching TV, sitting inactive in a public place, being a passenger in a car for an hour, lying down in the

afternoon, sitting and talking to someone, sitting quietly after lunch with no alcohol, and stopping for few minutes in traffic while driving.
Understanding ESS Score
0–10 Normal range in healthy adults
11–14 Mild sleepiness
15–17 Moderate sleepiness
18 or higher Severe sleepiness

Focused Physical Exam

Attention should be paid to the pharyngeal examination. Increased BMI is a risk factor for OSA, especially when asso­ciated with short neck or increased neck circumference. Overall, narrowed pharyngeal space, in addition to enlarged tonsils and adenoids, increases the risk of OSA.Craniofacial abnormalities also increase the risk of obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), as do abnormalities associated with reduced pharyngeal space [9].
OSA/SDB (Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Sleep­Disordered Breathing)
Definition
OSA is defined by repetitive complete obstruction (apnea) or partial obstruction (hypopnea) of the collapsible part of the upper airway during sleep [10]. Apnea or hypopnea is cessa­tion of breathing or decreased breathing for 10s, associated with oxygen desaturation of at least 3% and followed by an arousal (Fig. 15.1). Hypopnea is defined by the decrease in airflow by 30–50%, associated with at least 3% oxygen desat­uration, followed by an arousal. AHI is the sum of apneas and

hypopneas per hour of sleep. Respiratory disturbance index (RDI) is also used interchangeably with AHI.
Primary snoring is defined by normal AHI with snoring. Ninety-four percent of patients with OSA have snoring. Classically, the three clinical features of OSA are loud snor­ing, witnessed apneas, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnea is classified as mild (AHI 5–15 per hour of sleep), moderate (AHI 15–30 per hour of sleep), and severe (AHI >30 per hour of sleep).
Risk Factors
Risk factors include male sex, obesity, large neck circumfer­ence, narrowed pharynx or airway, certain craniofacial abnor­malities, family history, postmenopausal women, smoking, chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and other chronic medical conditions including CHF, ESRD, chronic
