Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been recently associated with optic nerve pathology; in particular, literature proposed the clinical and electrophysiological evidence of optic nerve damage in OSA patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate in patients affected by OSA the effect of ...
To compare the efficacy of single-stage, multilevel, temperature-controlled radiofrequency tissue volume reduction (TCRFTVR) for the soft palate and base of the tongue with that of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in primary treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. A...
Objectives:Untreated obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease, and road traffic accidents (RTAs), which impact survival and health-related quality of life. This study, funded by the French National ...
Purpose Home sleep apnea tests are recommended only for patients at high risk of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] >= 15/h). We evaluated 14 factors known to be associated with OSA and identified sex differences in predictors of moderate to severe OS...
