Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem in the US that afflicts at least 2% to 4% of middle-aged Americans and incurs an estimated annual cost of 3.4 billion dollars. At Stanford, we utilize a multispecialty team approach combining the expertise of sleep medicine specialists (adult and pediatric), maxillofacial and ear, nose, and

Epidemiology of obstructive sleep apnea: a population health perspective.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2002Population-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 ...

The high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has only recently been appreciated, in part because the symptoms and signs of chronic sleep disruption are often overlooked in spite of their debilitating consequences. They typically develop insidiously during a period of years.

Obstructive sleep apnea is an increasingly well-recognized disease characterized by periodic collapse of the upper airway during sleep. This leads to either complete or partial obstruction of the airway, resulting in apneas, hypopneas, or both. This disorder causes daytime somnolence, neurocognitive defects, and depression.

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2019 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very common but is frequently undiagnosed. Symptoms include loud snoring, nocturnal awakening, and daytime sleepiness. Motor vehicle accidents due to drowsy driving are a particular concern. Evaluation and treatment should focus on symptomatic patients, both to alleviate symptoms and to potentially decrease ...

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1985
This chapter provides an account of obstructive sleep apnea that is designed for clinicians. Current ideas about the mechanism of upper airway obstruction are reviewed, and the clinical features are discussed in a manner intended to facilitate the clinical assessment of such patients.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disease that results from loss of upper airway muscle tone leading to upper airway collapse during sleep in anatomically susceptible persons, leading to recurrent periods of hypoventilation, hypoxia, and arousals from sleep.

Obstructive Sleep apnea Therapy [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, 2008 In clinical practice, oral appliances are used primarily for obstructive sleep apnea patients who do not respond to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. We hypothesized that an oral appliance is not inferior to CPAP in treating obstructive sleep apnea effectively.

Our understanding of the nature and consequences of upper-airway obstruction in adults during sleep has evolved considerably over the past two decades. Sleep apnea — defined as repeated episodes of obstructive apnea and hypopnea during sleep, together with daytime sleepiness or altered cardiopulmonary function — is common.1 Epidemiologic studies ...
