The European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA) (also referred to with spelling European Sleep Apnoea Database[1][2] and European Sleep Apnoea Cohort[3][4]) is a collaboration between European sleep centres as part of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action B 26. The main contractor of the project is the Sahlgrenska Academy at Gothenburg University, Institute of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, and the co-ordinator is Jan Hedner, MD, PhD, Professor of Sleep Medicine.[2]

The book Clinical Genomics: Practical Applications for Adult Patient Care said ESADA was an example initiatives which afford an "excellent opportunity" for future collaborative research into genetic aspects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).[1] Both the European Respiratory Society and the European Sleep Research Society have noted the impact for research cooperative efforts of the database resource.[5]
