The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the recent scientific evidence of the clinical effects of altitude on breathing during sleep in healthy persons and sleep disordered patients. A search was carried out in PubMed and Scopus looking for articles published between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2021, in English and Spanish, with the following search terms: "sleep disorders breathing and altitude". Investigations in adults and carried out at an altitude of 2000 meters above mean sea level (MAMSL) or higher were included.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to enable self-management education.
- - Conducted between 2018 and 2019 across multiple Latin American countries, the survey involved 435 patients, revealing high access to smartphones and internet, with one-to-one ICTs (like WhatsApp and email) being the most frequently used for communication.
- - Results indicate that older adults and those with lower education levels are less likely to engage with ICTs, despite a general preference for one-to-one ICTs for receiving information about OSA and engaging with healthcare providers.
Supplemental oxygen (SO) increases survival in hypoxemic patients. In hypoxia, mammals respond by modulating O-sensitive transducers that stabilize the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1-alpha (HIF-1α), which transactivates the genes that govern angiogenesis and metabolic pathways. Residing at high altitudes exposes millions of people to hypoxemia with potential adverse consequences on their health.
