EDS Prevalent in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Affects Patient Satisfaction
Investigators sought to evaluate the relationship between EDS, PAP adherence, and patient satisfaction among individuals with a self-reported obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Bedwetting May Improve After Adenotonsillectomy for Sleep Apnea
Adenotonsillectomy for the treatment of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea appears to also result in improvement in bedwetting.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Raises the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death
We interview experts Younghoon Kwon, MD, MS, FACC, and Richard J Castriotta, MD, FCCP, FAASM, about the connections between obstructive sleep apnea-sudden cardiac death.
Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Linked to Elevated BP in Teens
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with elevated blood pressure (eBP) in adolescence.
AHA Advises OSA Screening for Those With CV Risk, Conditions
People with cardiovascular risk factors or conditions should be screened for obstructive sleep apnea.
Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients With MS
The STOP-Bang Questionnaire may be an effective tool in screening patients with multiple sclerosis for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Lack of Knowledge on Idiopathic Hypersomnia Often Leads to Misdiagnosis
A survey of health care providers found a lack of knowledge on idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) among physicians, and that the disorder is often misdiagnosed. We spoke with Richard Bogan, MD, FCCP, FAASM, associate clinical professor at the University of the South Carolina School of Medicine about IH and criteria for diagnosing this sleep disorder.
Review: Hypnotics for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Endotypes
The researchers reviewed advancements and current knowledge about the use of hypnotics in therapy for obstructive sleep apnea.
Dysphagia Prevalence, Characteristics Among Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Brain Structure Alterations and Behavioral Problems Among Children Associated With Obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing
While parents frequently report behavioral problems in children who snore, the relationship between symptoms of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (oSDB) and childhood behavioral problems associated with brain structural alterations is limited. The study authors examined the associations between oSDB symptoms, behavioral measures such as inattention, and brain morphometry.
