Effect of compliance to continuous positive airway pressure on exacerbations, lung function and symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apnea (overlap syndrome) Open
Introduction Patients with overlap syndrome (OS), that is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are at increased risk of acute exacerbations related to COPD (AECOPD). We assessed the effect of CPAP…

Gender Differences in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The Value of Sleep Questionnaires with a Separate Analysis of Cardiovascular Patients Open
Background: Gender affects the clinical presentation of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The classic OSA symptoms, such as sleepiness, snoring, and apnea, are not so frequent in women. Objectives: To evaluate possible gender differences in q…
