Smoking Related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity
Smoking may be related to the severity of obstructive sleep apnea.
OSA
Preoperative Apnea Hypopnea Index Linked to Postoperative Complication Risk
Preoperative apnea hypopnea index in patients with OSA correlated with postoperative adverse events.
Reslizumab Improves Sleep Quality in Inadequately Controlled Asthma
Patients who received reslizumab experienced significantly greater improvements in each sleep-related related Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire question score compared with placebo.
Nocturnal Hypoxemia Increases Afib Risk in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Severe nocturnal hypoxemia was associated with a greater risk for atrial fibrillation vs milder or no hypoxemia.
Nasal High Flow Therapy vs Oxygen Supplementation in OSA With CPAP Noncompliance
The average 4% oxygen desaturation index was statistically higher in the nasal high flow therapy group vs oxygen supplementation only control group.
Sleep Disturbances in COPD Linked to Airway Constriction Heterogeneity
Sleep disturbances caused by the symptoms of COPD are associated with airway constriction heterogeneity, which could be reflective of peripheral airway dysfunction.
STOP-Bang, Pulse Oximetry Effective Screening Tools for Sleep Apnea
The threshold STOP-Bang score for moderate to severe sleep apnea was 6 (which correlated with apnea-hypopnea index of ≥15) and this score had a sensitivity of 63% and a specificity of 69%.
Portable Monitoring Accurate for Sleep Apnea Diagnosis in Heart Failure
Respiratory polygraphy can accurately diagnose sleep apnea in patients hospitalized with heart failure.
Heart Failure Risk Increased When Sleep Apnea Not Managed With CPAP
When sleep apnea was not managed with continuous positive airway pressure, the risk for heart failure increased, regardless of age.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea May Increase Amyloid Burden
Obstructive sleep apenea may increase the amyloid burden in cognitively normal older patients.
