Sleep-disordered breathing-related symptoms and risk of stroke: cohort study and Mendelian randomization analysis.
J Neurol
May 2022
Unit of Medical Epidemiology, Department of Surgical Sciences, The EpiHub, Uppsala University, Dag Hammarskjölds väg 14 B, 75185, Uppsala, Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) symptoms like snoring and breathing cessation were linked to a higher risk of total stroke and specifically intracerebral hemorrhage in a study of 41,742 Swedish adults.
- Despite these observational findings, Mendelian randomization analysis did not support a genetic link between sleep apnea and the overall risk of stroke or its specific types.
- The study concluded that while SDB symptoms may indicate a risk for certain strokes, especially intracerebral hemorrhage, they do not seem to influence the risk of ischemic strokes or subarachnoid hemorrhages.
