Mild Cognitive Impairment Prevalence in Patients With Suspected OSA
A high prevalence of mild cognitive impairment has been reported in patients referred to sleep clinics for suspected obstructive sleep apnea.

Since the association between physiological sleep characteristics and brain structure is not well understood, researchers aimed to investigate gray matter volume and cognitive performance related to physiological sleep characteristics.
Conducting only a single night of portable monitoring can misclassify disease severity in patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Older adults who are witnessed to have sleep apnea have increased accumulations of tau in the entorhinal cortex.
Investigators observed a significant association between atrial fibrillation and increasing oxygen desaturation index.
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with changes to the structure of the brain that are seen in the early stages of dementia.
CPAP use for obstructive sleep apnea may be associated with improved sexual quality of life.
Neonatal caffeine therapy for apnea of prematurity has no detrimental long-term effects and even improves some neurologic measures.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the mainstay of medical treatment for OSA.
The combined analysis of the neurofunctional scales demonstrated an overall neurofunctional improvement with CPAP.
