Nocturnal Desaturation is Associated With Neurological Deterioration Following Ischemic Stroke: A Retrospective Observational Study

This suggests that treatment of sleep-disordered breathing could be a modifiable factor to possibly reduce the risk of neurological worsening among acute stroke patients.Citation:Kim TJ, Ko SB, Jeong HG, Kim CK, Kim Y, Nam K, Mo H, An SJ, Choi HA, Yoon BW.
