Physiologic Traits Associated CPAP Adherence in Patients With Stroke and OSA
Physiologic traits that cause obstructive sleep apnea are also associated with adherence to continuous positive airway pressure in patients with stroke.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sleep Abnormalities and Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
Embolic stroke of undetermined source is associated with elevated periodic limb movements and increased sleep onset latency.
Depression in Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Accurate Measurement
Study further highlights the need to use precise and accurate depression and anxiety scales adjusted to patients not only for assessment purposes but also for the treatment of these symptoms in obstructive sleep apnea.
REM-Related OSA Associated With Increased Gestational Diabetes Risk
Rapid eye movement-related obstructive sleep apnea and other sleep disordered breathing events are associated with an increased risk for gestational diabetes.
SNORE Utility Index Validated as Novel Sleep Apnea-Specific QoL Instrument
Researchers have developed and validated the SNORE (Symptoms of Nocturnal Obstruction and Related Events) Utility Index, a novel utility scoring algorithm, for use as a sleep apnea-specific quality-of-life instrument.
Atomoxetine Plus Oxybutynin Improves Multiple Variables in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Atomoxetine plus oxybutynin demonstrated efficacy in improving upper airway collapsibility, increasing breathing stability, and reducing the threshold for arousal in obstructive sleep apnea.
STOP-Bang Questionnaire Effective for OSA Screening in Multiple Sclerosis
Researchers of the study assessed the sensitivity and specificity of the STOP-Bang tool in patients with MS.
Sleep Quality Related to Asthma Control and Severity
A significant correlation was seen between quality of sleep and asthma control.
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.
