Preferred Label : Primary central sleep apnoea;
ICD-11 definition : Primary central sleep apnoea is of unknown etiology (idiopathic) and is characterised
by recurrent, predominantly central apnoeas. Airflow and respiratory effort cease
simultaneously in a repetitive fashion over the course of the night. The recurrent
