TY - JOUR AU - McNicholas, Walter T. PY - 2018 TI - Obstructive sleep apnoea and cardiovascular comorbidity—growing evidence of independent association but recent doubts about benefits from therapy JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 10, Supplement 34 (December 27, 2018): Journal of Thoracic Disease (Sleep Disordered Breathing and Cardiovascular Disease) Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is highly prevalent, affecting up to 50% of the adult male general population (1) and is strongly associated with co-morbidity, especially cardiovascular (2). While the evidence that many co-morbidities such as cardiovascular, metabolic, hepatic, and malignancy are more prevalent in OSA, the evidence of independent association is less clear (3).
