Introduction Severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been incriminated in atrial fibrillation (AF) initiation and maintenance, and would be responsible for worsening its morbi-mortality hence the importance of screening them to propose the appropriate therapeutic strategy. To our knowledge, no study ...
Collectively known as the Complete Airway Repositioning and/or Expansion (CARE) devices, the mouthpieces are newly cleared to help treat severe obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, in adults, VivosannouncedWednesday. They’d previously racked up clearances in mild-to-moderate cases of the...
(HealthDay)—Severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) that occurs during REM sleep is associated with recurrent cardiovascular events in those with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, according to a study published in the March 1 issue of theAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. R...
The adjusted hazard ratio for mortality with severe OSA was 1.72 (95% confidence interval 1.01-2.91, p=0.04). CONCLUSIONS: The severity of obstructive sleep apnea is associated with increased risk of death, and risk stratification based on OSA severity is relevant even in the diseased cardiac ...
The impact of sleep-related breathing disorders on the incidence of arterial hypertension (AHT) in the older adults is not well-established. The aim of our study was to test the link between severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the occurrence of hypertension in older subjects after 3years...
Objective To study the effect of severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) on cochlear function.Methods Transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) and Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were used to measure the cochlear function in 20 patients with severe OSAHS. Resu...
(HealthDay)—Moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are associated with elevated blood coagulability markers, according to a study published online Aug. 17 in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.
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...
Risk factors and treatment for obstructive sleep apnea amongst obese children and adults The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence for the association between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as well as predisposing risk... Kohler,Mark - 《Current Opinion in Allergy & Cli...
The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the long-term efficacy of the one staged multilevel surgery (MLS) with tongue suspension (TBS) surgery or one level palatal surgery for treatment of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This is a prospective cross-sectional ...
