Body surface area: a new anthropometric measurement for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the potential association between BSA and the severity of OSAS. As a result, we determined that BSA correlated with polisomnographic parameters as BMI. In severe OSAS BSA can be used as a predictor parameter like BMI. PMID: 30479226 [PubMed - in process]
