OSA Severity and CPAP Outcomes
Continuous positive airway pressure was effective for preventing cardiovascular disease in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea.
OSA
Sleep-Disordered Breathing Associated With Impairments in Free Fatty Acid Metabolism
Patients with sleep-disordered breathing were more likely to have impairments in free fatty acid metabolism than those without sleep-disordered breathing.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity May Be Linked to Poststroke Depression
In patients who have experienced an ischemic stroke, obstructive sleep apnea severity has been positively associated with 3-month poststroke depression.
Improvement of Sleep Apnea and Sleep Patterns May Improve Glycemic Control in Black Patients
Sleep-disordered breathing and fragmented sleep are associated with higher levels of fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c in black adults.
Specificities and Sensitivities of OSA Screening Tools for People With HIV
In terms of screening for obstructive sleep apnea in people living with HIV, the STOP-BANG questionnaire had good sensitivity, whereas the Berlin questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale demonstrated good specificity.
OSA Does Not Appear to Be Associated With Postoperative Delirium in ICU
No association existed between obstructive sleep apnea and postoperative delirium after risk adjustment in the context of usual care in the intensive care unit.
Impaired Cognition in Children With OSA and Congenital Heart Disease
Children with congenital heart disease and comorbid obstructive sleep apnea are at increased risk for impaired neurocognition compared with children with congenital heart disease who do not have comorbid OSA.
Diagnostic Device Detects Comorbid Obstructive Sleep Apnea in COPD
The WatchPAT device was able to accurately detect comorbid obstructive sleep apnea in patients with COPD.
Diuretics May Reduce OSA Severity in Patients With Moderate Obesity, Hypertension
Diuretics may reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnea in individuals with hypertension who are overweight or moderately obese.
