Article Synopsis
- Recent analyses show that about 70% of patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke have sleep apnea, but previous studies had inconsistent results.
- This updated meta-analysis examined 75 studies with 8,670 stroke patients to see if sleep apnea prevalence varies by stroke subtype, etiology, severity, and location.
- Findings indicated higher prevalence of sleep apnea in hemorrhagic and certain ischemic stroke types, and variations were associated with stroke characteristics, explaining some inconsistencies in earlier research.
