Evolutionary Active Constrained Clustering for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Analysis

Is Apnea-Hypopnea Index a proper measure for Obstructive Sleep Apnea severity?

obstructive sleep apnea

sleep apnea, and particularly obstructive sleep apnea, is a common disorder that is characterized by a repetitive, partial or complete cessation of air flow, associated with oxyhemoglobin desaturation and an increased effort to breath. in recent years, orthodontists have been interested and involved in the management of this disorder since it has been shown that oral appliance therapy can be an...

Obstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease

Background: It has been implicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between OSA and severity of atherosclerosis assessed by angiography. Methods: This study included 337 patients ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disorder, affecting 2% to 4% of the adult population [1]. It is characterized by recurrent apneas and hypopneas during sleep with resultant oxyhemoglobin desaturations and sleep fragmentation. The clinical sequelae of OSAmay be severe and include daytime hypersomnolence, cognitive impairment, systemic and/or pulmonary hypertension, myocardial infarct...
