Overnight pulse oximetry allows the relatively non‐invasive estimation of peripheral blood
haemoglobin oxygen saturations (SpO2), and forms part of the typical polysomnogram …

In the surgical setting, OSA is associated with an increased risk of postoperative
complications. At present, risk stratification using OSA-associated parameters derived from …

Objective Our objective was to test the primary hypothesis that maternal non-left, in particular
supine going-to-sleep position, would be a risk factor for late stillbirth (≥ 28 weeks of …

Background Maternal supine going-to-sleep position has been associated with increased
risk of late stillbirth (≥ 28 weeks), but it is unknown if the risk differs between right and left …

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first-line treatment for the majority of
patients affected by obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA). However, long-term …

Research related to the duration of respiratory events in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has
been scarce, perhaps due to the dominant role played by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) …

Background Age is a risk factor of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It has been shown that
OSA progresses over time, although conflicting results have been reported. However, the …

Purpose We assessed the prevalence of positional patients (PPs) and the main predictors of
positional dependency in severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A simulated effect of …

Study Objectives: To assess, in a large cohort of patients with obstructive sleep apnea, the
factors that are independently associated with positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) …

Several factors influence respiratory event duration during sleep. In general, women have
shorter respiratory events compared to men as it appears that women have a more reactive …
