Association between mean platelet volume and cardiovascular disease in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Mean platelet volume has emerged as a marker of prothrombotic conditions and cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the mean platelet volume and cardiovascular diseases in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Red blood cell distribution width in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and its association with cardiovascular disease.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is reported as a novel marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We aimed to investigate the correlation of RDW level with the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) defined with the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and to study the relationship between RDW and CVD in OSAS.

Snoring time versus snoring intensity: Which parameter correlates better with severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome?

Objective: The relationship between the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and both snoring intensity and rate measured objectively has not been sufficiently investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between severity of OSAS and snoring parameters including snoring intensity and rate.

Patients And Methods: A total of 150 records of individuals who complained of snoring were analyzed.
