Is sleep apnea-hypopnea index relevant for impaired brain perfusion and desaturation in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndromes?

2020-10-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder with the prevalence of 9-38% in the general population. Severe OSAS defined as apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 30/h is a major risk factor for developing cerebro-cardiovascular diseases like stroke.
