Association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Nocturnal Hypoxemia in Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease Patients: A Cross-sectional Analysis of Record-based Data
CONCLUSION: MAFLD patients have higher prevalence and greater severity of OSA and worse nocturnal desaturation parameters as compared to non-MAFLD patients. OSA is independent of obesity among patients of CLD, but prevalent among NAFLD group. Further prospective studies are needed among MAFLD and OSA patients to elucidate the mechanism linking pathophysiology of OSA-MAFLD and guide therapy.PMID:34660454 | PMC:PMC8483116 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_412_21
