Abstract:
Restless legs syndrome, also called Willis-Ekbom disease, is a neurological disorder marked by a strong, uncontrollable urge to move the legs, often paired with unpleasant or uncomfortable sensations. To address gaps and variations in care in this patient population, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Quality Measures Task Force performed quality measure maintenance on the quality measures for the care of adult patients with restless legs syndrome (originally developed in 2015). The Quality Measures Task Force conducted a comprehensive review of current medical literature, including updated clinical practice guidelines, systematic literature reviews, existing quality measures for restless legs syndrome, and performance data to identify ongoing gaps and variations in care since the implementation of the original quality measure set and to inform potential revisions.
