Many Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19 Are Diagnosed With a Sleep Disorder
A team of investigators sought to assess the prevalence of pre-existing sleep disorders and their relationship to disease outcomes in patients with severe COVID-19.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associated With Specific Indicators of Aging
Obstructive sleep apnea in young patients results in pathophysiologic changes associated with aging.
Solriamfetol Improves Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Solriamfetol, a dopamine-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, improves excessive daytime sleepiness in OSA regardless of primary OSA therapy adherence.
Managing Mask-Related Side Effects: A Key to CPAP Therapy Adherence
Mask-related side effects have been cited as the most important factor influencing adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.
Overnight Pulse Oximetry for Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Titration in OSA
Investigators assessed the addition of pulse-oximetry to self-reported improvements during hypoglossal nerve stimulation home titration for patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnea Linked to More Influenza Hospitalizations
There may be increased hospitalization risk from influenza infection in patients with obstructive sleep apnea who do not use continuous positive airway pressure.
Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea May Have Sleep Improvement After Oropharyngeal-Based Therapies
A study showed that a 4 week intervention of oropharyngeal stimulation and tongue PNF improved cognition, Hba1c and quality of sleep in patients with OSA.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Increased Mortality Risk and Viral Spread
Researchers reviewed COVID-19 literature to determine the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and adverse COVID-19 outcomes.
Effect of Positive Airway Pressure Therapy on Cardiovascular Risk in Sleep Apnea
Patients with sleep apnea who received positive airway pressure therapy did not exhibit reduced cardiovascular risk compared with patients who received usual care.
Assessing the Overlapping Brain Pathologies in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Alzheimer Disease
Researchers analyzed autopsy brain tissue from confirmed obstructive sleep apnea cases for amyloid beta and tau, hallmark proteins of Alzheimer disease.
