Sleep Quality Related to Asthma Control and Severity
A significant correlation was seen between quality of sleep and asthma control.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Pitolisant Reduces Daytime Sleepiness in Patients Nonadherent to CPAP
In patients with obstructive sleep apnea who refuse or are nonadherent to continuous positive airway pressure therapy, pitolisant may reduce self-reported excessive daytime sleepiness.
Health Care Utilization Increasing Among Elderly With Untreated Apnea
Older adult Medicare beneficiaries with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have increased health care utilization (HCU) and costs.
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 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.
Newly Diagnosed Ankylosing Spondylitis Linked to Risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Researchers evaluated the risk for obstructive sleep apnea among patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
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.
Assessing the Risk for Stroke in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation, which affects up to 46.3 million people globally and 2.7 to 6.1 million individuals in the US, may represent a modifiable risk factor for acute stroke.
Mood Disorders in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Common comorbidities in OSA such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic abnormalities, may confer a higher risk for the development of mental and cognitive impairment in patients with OSA compared with the general population.
