Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex, heterogeneous disease. Categorizing the disorder into phenotypes can help us better understand its pathology and guide us toward more personalized treatment approaches. Nevertheless, most of the previous cluster analysis (CA) studies in OSA predominantly included middle-aged to older men and may not adequately represent the heterogeneity of OSA phenotypes in women.

Polysomnographic Phenotypes of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in a Real-Life Cohort: A Pathophysiological Approach.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is heterogeneous and complex, but its severity is still based on the apnea-hypoapnea index (AHI). The present study explores using cluster analysis (CA), the additional information provided from routine polysomnography (PSG) to optimize OSA categorization.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of OSA subjects diagnosed by PSG in a tertiary hospital sleep unit during 2016-2020.
