Three-Stage Breathing Effort Quantification for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Detection Based on Thoracic and Abdominal Movement Signals

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
A level-IV home-based sleep apnea monitoring system that utilizes alternative sensors, such as dual respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) belts, is proposed to promote routine apnea monitoring.

Effect of Weight Loss on Upper Airway Anatomy and the Apnea Hypopnea Index: The Importance of Tongue Fat.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2020
RATIONALE Obesity is the primary risk factor for sleep apnea (OSA). Tongue fat is increased in obese persons with OSA, and may explain the relationship between obesity and OSA. Weight loss improves OSA, but the mechanism is unknown.

Correlation between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

open access: yesAnnals of Palliative Medicine, 2021
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is defined as more than 30 recurrent episodes of apnea or a sleep apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of more than 5 times/hour at a night.

A mathematical model to serve as a clinical tool for assessing obstructive sleep apnea severity

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder caused by periodic airway obstructions and has been associated with numerous health consequences, which are thought to result from tissue hypoxia.

Effect of Multilevel Upper Airway Surgery vs Medical Management on the Apnea-Hypopnea Index and Patient-Reported Daytime Sleepiness Among Patients With Moderate or Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The SAMS Randomized Clinical Trial.

open access: yesJournal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2020
Importance Many adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) use device treatments inadequately and remain untreated. Objective To determine whether combined palatal and tongue surgery to enlarge or stabilize the upper airway is an effective treatment for

Influence of apnea vs hypopnea predominance in predicting mean therapeutic positive airway pressures among patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

open access: yesJournal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2021
STUDY OBJECTIVES Lower therapeutic positive airway pressure (PAP) levels are associated with improved response to non-PAP therapies in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

Contactless camera-based AHI score estimation in SAS patients

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2023
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a common sleeprelated breathing disorder characterized by recurring cessations of airflow during sleep. The gold standard for diagnosing SAS is polysomnography (PSG) which requires the patient to spend one or several nights ...

The Bidirectional Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Metabolic Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder, effecting 17% of the total population and 40–70% of the obese population (1, 2). Multiple studies have identified OSA as a critical risk factor for the development of obesity, diabetes, and ...

The correlation between oxygen saturation indices and the standard obstructive sleep apnea severity

open access: yesAnnals of Thoracic Medicine, 2020
OBJECTIVE: Currently accepted guidelines categorize obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity according to the Apnea–Hypopnea Index (AHI). However, it is unclear how to best define OSA severity.

An Effective Method for Distinguishing Sleep Apnea and Hypopnea Based on ECG Signals

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
Good sleep quality is essential to our life and work. The two major challenges in evaluating sleep quality are the scoring of sleep stages and sleep apnea detection. In addition to sleep apnea, hypopnea is also a respiratory event that occurs at an equal
