Study Objectives
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in the Veteran population. In this retrospective study, we investigated the prevalence of comorbid central and obstructive SDB and the response rate to PAP among Veterans.
Methods
Veterans were screened from a single VA medical center who had a polysomnography (PSG) study from 2017-2021 t...
Background
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) combined with heart failure (HF) has become a serious disease that threatens human health. Therapeutic interventions targeting OSAS have been shown to improve outcomes in patients with HF, so the identification of severe OSAS in HF is critical. Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is associated with in...
Background
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a multifaceted disorder marked by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep, often coexisting with various medical conditions. This study, aimed to comprehensively analyze the Multifaceted Landscape of Pediatric Insights into Prevalence, Severity, and Coexisting Conditions. With a sample o...
Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is a respiratory disorder characterized by cessation of breathing during sleep, resulting in daytime somnolence and various comorbidities. SAHS encompasses obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused by upper airway obstruction, and central sleep apnea (CSA), resulting from lack of brainstem signaling for respiration....
Background
Central sleep apnea has been reported in pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the effect of adenotonsillectomy (TA) on the presentation of the central apnea index (CAI) remains unclear. We investigated the effect of TA on CAI in children with OSA through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods
A systema...
