Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Still Benefit From Suboptimal CPAP Adherence
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea and daytime sleepiness still receive a substantial benefit from suboptimal continuous positive airway pressure adherence.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Macrovascular Endothelial Dysfunction in OSA and Type 2 Diabetes
Patients with both type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea demonstrated macrovascular endothelial dysfunction beyond the effect of either disease alone.
Reduction in Tongue Fat Improves AHI in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The primary upper airway mediator of the relationship between weight loss and apnea-hypopnea index improvement was reduction in tongue fat volume.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea May Predict Poor Outcomes in Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms
Obstructive sleep apnea may represent a significant predictor of unfavorable outcomes in ruptured intracranial aneurysms.
CPAP May Not Prevent Major Cardiovascular Events in OSA and ACS
In patients with acute coronary syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea, treatment with continuous positive airway pressure may not prevent the recurrence of major cardiovascular events.
Loop Gain Measurements Can Be Affected by Respiratory Event Scoring in OSA
Loop gain measured noninvasively from polysomnography can be influenced by respiratory event scoring in obstructive sleep apnea.
Secondhand Smoke May Increase Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children
Children aged with severe obstructive sleep apnea who were exposed to secondhand smoke had an increase in odds of obstructive apnea hypopnea index compared with children who were not exposed.
Apnea and Arrhythmia Associated With Increased Mortality in Epilepsy
Investigators report cardiac arrhythmias with or without apnea among patients with epilepsy are associated with increased mortality risk.
CPAP Therapy Benefits Patients With Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Improved quality of life was seen at 3 months in patients who received CPAP therapy in addition to standard care.
Diagnosing OSA With Airway, Nonairway Parameters Identified With Ultrasound
Surface ultrasound measurement was able to identify both airway and nonairway parameters with moderate to good correlation with obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis.
