Objective: To outline the history and need for a population approach to understanding sleep apnea and provide a review of the first longitudinal population study of this disorder.
Population-based epidemiologic studies have uncovered the high prevalence and wide severity spectrum of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea, and have consistently found that even mild obstructive sleep apnea is associated with significant morbidity.
Objective: To present 5-year outcomes from a prospective cohort of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who were treated with upper airway stimulation (UAS) via a unilateral hypoglossal nerve implant.
Sleep-disordered breathing is a common disorder with a range of harmful sequelae. Obesity is a strong causal factor for sleep-disordered breathing, and because of the ongoing obesity epidemic, previous estimates of sleep-disordered breathing prevalence require updating.
Objectives: To determine, in a European cohort, the prevalence and health-related quality-of-life (QOL) burden of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) in postmenopausal women, and among subgroups of women not taking hormone therapy (HT).
Study objectives: The primary aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of positional obstructive sleep apnea using a functional definition.
Objective: To assess the relation between medications prescribed for chronic pain and sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder whose prevalence is linked to an epidemic of obesity in Western society. Sleep apnea is due to recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep that are caused by elevations in upper airway collapsibility during sleep.
Introduction: Real-world effectiveness of many medications has been poorly researched, including in hospice/palliative care. Directly extrapolating findings from other clinical...
Background: Most totally blind people have non-24-hour sleep–wake disorder (non-24), a rare circadian rhythm disorder caused by an inability of light to reset their circadian pacemaker.
