Is surgery effective for reducing symptoms in adults with obstructive sleep apnea? [PDF]

, 2001
Current evidence is insufficient to recommend surgery for symptom relief for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. More convincing evidence exists supporting the use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or dental appliances for reducing ...

Apnea‐Hypopnea Event Duration Predicts Mortality in Men and Women in the Sleep Heart Health Study

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2019
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for mortality, but its diagnostic metric—the apnea‐hypopnea index—is a poor risk predictor. The apnea‐hypopnea index does not capture the range of physiological variability within and between patients ...

Utility of Sleep Questionnaires for Detecting Sleep Apnea in Ischemic Stroke Patients

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology
Background and Objectives: Sleep-disordered breathing is highly prevalent in stroke patients. It is associated with recurrence of stroke and poor neurologic outcomes.

AI vs Humans for the diagnosis of sleep apnea [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing sleep obstructive apnea (OSA). It allows monitoring of breathing events throughout the night. The detection of these events is usually done by trained sleep experts. However, this task is tedious, highly time-consuming and subject to important inter-scorer variability.

Self-advising SVM for sleep apnea classification [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper Self-Advising SVM, a new proposed version of SVM, is investigated for sleep apnea classification. Self-Advising SVM tries to trans-fer more information from training phase to the test phase in compare to the traditional SVM.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Obesity: Implications for Public Health.

Sleep medicine and disorders : international journal, 2017
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a global disease with a rising incidence along with its comorbidities, especially with metabolic syndrome. One of the main components contributing to sleep apnea is obesity; as well as diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM ...

Lack of reliable clinical predictors to identify obstructive sleep apnea in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Clinics, 2013
OBJECTIVE: Obstructive sleep apnea is common among patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and may contribute to poor cardiovascular outcomes. However, obstructive sleep apnea is largely unrecognized in this population.

Does A Short, Thick Neck Predict Obstructive Sleep Apnea?: The Role of Physical Examination in OSA Screening [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a short neck, alone or together with a thick neck, can predict obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Prevalence and Characteristics of Central Compared to Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Analyses from the Sleep Heart Health Study Cohort.

Sleep, 2016
STUDY OBJECTIVES Determine the prevalence of central sleep apnea (CSA) in a large community-based cohort using current definitions and contrast the clinical characteristics of subjects with CSA to those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and no sleep ...

Thermal Imaging and Radar for Remote Sleep Monitoring of Breathing and Apnea [PDF]

arXiv
Polysomnography (PSG), the current gold standard method for monitoring and detecting sleep disorders, is cumbersome and costly. At-home testing solutions, known as home sleep apnea testing (HSAT), exist. However, they are contact-based, a feature which limits the ability of some patient populations to tolerate testing and discourages widespread ...
