Positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common among OSA patients. In severe OSA,
the obstruction events are longer in supine compared to nonsupine positions …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of body position during sleep on
apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and night-to-night variability in polysomnography (PSG) …

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 …

Objectives The body position has a strong influence on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The
purpose of this study is to compare the clinical features of two subtypes of positional OSA …

Purpose The apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) is used to grade obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
into mild, moderate, and severe forms. Obstructive events are most common in the supine …

Abstract Study Objectives: To test the hypothesis that head position, separately from trunk
position, is an additionally important factor for the occurrence of apnea in obstructive sleep …

Purpose Sleep and sleep position have a significant impact on physical, cardiac and mental
health, and have been evaluated in numerous studies particularly in terms of lateral …

Study objective: To compare the severity of sleepapneic events occurring in the supine
posture vs the severity of sleepapneic events occurring in the lateral posture in patients with …

Study objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) resolves in lateral sleep in 20% of patients.
However, the effect of lateral positioning on factors contributing to OSA has not been …

Purpose Sleep apnea is a multifactorial illness which can be differentiated in various
physiological phenotypes as a result of both anatomical and non-anatomical contributors …
