Investigating the Association between Wake-Up Stroke and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Meta-Analysis

Conclusion: WUS patients have severer SDB problems compared to NWUS patients suggesting that respiratory events during sleep might be underlying the induction of WUS. Besides, the induction of WUS was significantly associated with men rather than women. Therefore, early diagnosis and management of potential WUS patients should benefit from the detection of SDB status and respiratory effects.Eur Neurol
