Air Pollutants Are Associated With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity in Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep

Conclusions:An adjustment for continuous positive airway treatment dose by season is not warranted. Protection for air pollutant-vulnerable groups should be provided. The exact mechanism of the associations between apnea-hypopnea index and air conditions only in non-rapid eye movement sleep must be clarified.Citation:Cheng WJ, Liang SJ, Huang CS, Lin CL, Pien LC, Hang LW.
