Article Synopsis
- * In the second wave, patients tended to be younger, with shorter hospital stays and lower fatality rates; there was an increase in the number of children and pregnant women needing hospitalization.
- * Common symptoms in both waves included fever and cough, but the second wave also saw a rise in renal and gastrointestinal issues, and differences in treatment approaches and mortality risk factors were identified, indicating a shift in the virus's impact over time.
Introduction: The socioeconomic impact of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is considerable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of treating OSAHS with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and the impact of CPAP compliance.
Methods: This was a retrospective, case-crossover study of 373 patients with OSAHS receiving CPAP.
Background And Objective: Obesity is the main risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The aim was to evaluate the long-term effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on intraabdominal fat distribution in OSA patients.
Patients And Methods: Fifty OSA patients with and 35 without CPAP treatment criteria were followed-up for 2 years.
Objective: To evaluate circulating adipocyte and epidermal fatty acid-binding protein (FABP4 and FABP5) concentrations in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as well as the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.
Methods: Our cross-sectional study included 125 patients. After polysomnography, 58 participants met the criteria for CPAP treatment and were included in a closed cohort study of 8 weeks of CPAP treatment.
