LOINC long common name : Deprecated PhenX measure - sleep disorders screener;
LOINC description : A questionnaire to assess sleep disorders, a broad group of disorders that can be
caused by endogenous disturbances in the sleep-wake or timing cycles (American Psychiatric
Association, 2000). This measure is used to screen an individual for the presence
of sleep disorders. Sleep disorders are co-morbid with a wide variety of health conditions.
For example, sleep abnormalities are commonly reported in conjunction with most mental
disorders and are also often associated either with a general medical condition or
medications used to treat a condition. Additionally, some sleep disorders, such as
predisposition toward light, demonstrate a familial pattern indicating a genetic and/or
environmental cause (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).;
