Purpose In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), severity of individual obstruction events is
connected to increased mortality rate and it can be significantly different in patients with …

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 …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to an increased mortality rate. However, the severity
of individual obstruction events is rarely considered quantitatively in clinical practice. We …

Introduction Presently, the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is estimated based on
the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Unfortunately, AHI does not provide information on the …

Study Objectives: The aim was to investigate how the severity of apneas, hypopneas, and
related desaturations is associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-related daytime …

Introduction Patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have an
increased risk of cardiovascular comorbidities and mortality. Although different subtypes of …

Purpose The diagnosis and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are commonly based
on the apnea hypopnea index (AHI). However, patients with similar severity AHIs may show …

Objective: In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), breathing cessations are often followed by
arousals, leading to sleep fragmentation and thus impaired sleep quality. Arousals and …

Purpose Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Strong
associations have been reported among sleep duration, hypertension, obesity, and …

BACKGROUND: Obesity is one of the most prominent risk factors for obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA). Weight loss decreases the number of shorter respiratory events (< 40 s) …
