Purpose: The expression of the respiratory events in OSA is influenced by different mechanisms. In particular, REM sleep can highly increase the occurrence of events in a subset of OSA patients, a condition dubbed REM-OSA (often defined as an AHI 2 times higher in REM than NREM sleep). However, a proper characterization of REM-OSA and its pathological sequelae is still inadequate, partly because of limitations in the current definitions.

The resulting acute and chronic endothelial inflammation leads to chronic organ damage. Respiratory manifestations in SCD usually start from childhood and represent the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.
