Association between the high risk for obstructive sleep apnea and intracranial carotid artery calcification in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThis study showed that the presence of calcium in symptomatic intracranial ICA was related to high risk for OSA in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Is obstructive sleep apnea associated with the presence of intracranial cerebral atherosclerosis?
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that moderate to severe OSA is associated with the presence of ICAS in patients with suspected OSA.

Risk of gallstones in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a nationwide observational cohort study
ConclusionThe study shows a strong association between OSA and gallstones. Moreover, our findings suggest the requirement for survey and health education for gallstones in OSA and further studies to verify whether the treatment of OSA can reduce the risk of gallstones.

Self-reported snoring and incident cardiovascular disease events: results from the Jackson Heart Study
ConclusionIn conclusion, self-reported habitual snoring was not associated with incident CVD among this large African American cohort. Future studies providing objective data on snoring and sleep apnea may provide more information on the snoring-CVD association among African Americans.Trial registrationIdentification Number: NCT00005485

The Determining Risk of Vascular Events by Apnea Monitoring (DREAM) study: design, rationale, and methods
Conclusions This manuscript provides the rationale for the inclusion of veterans in a study to determine the association between physiologic sleep measures and cardiovascular outcomes and specifically the development of a corresponding outcome-based prognostic model.

Obstructive sleep apnea is independently associated with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis among middle-aged women
Conclusion Moderate to severe OSA is independently associated with the presence of CAC in middle-aged women. These results reinforce the concept that women are also susceptible to the cardiovascular consequences of OSA.

Stratification of cardiovascular risk in patients with atrial fibrillation and obstructive sleep apnea —validity of the 2MACE score
ConclusionOSA prevalence is increased in AF patients and is associated with an increase 2MACE score —an indicator of major cardiovascular events. There is a linear relationship between severity of OSA and increasing 2MACE scores, indicating increasing cardiovascular risk related to OSA severity.

Severe obstructive sleep apnea is associated with cochlear function impairment
ConclusionsAcoustic transference function of middle ear is similar in adults with and without OSA. Severe OSA is independently associated with cochlear function impairment in patients with no significant co-morbidities.

Arousal index as a marker of carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
ConclusionsSeveral PSG variables that are indicative of sleep fragmentation, sleep disordered breathing, and poor sleep quality correlated with the occurrence of atherosclerosis, but total arousal index was the only independent predictive factor.

Association between insomnia and type 2 diabetes mellitus in Han Chinese individuals in Shandong Province, China
ConclusionsThis study suggests that insomnia is independently and significantly associated with diabetes mellitus in the northern Chinese population, especially in the 40 –59-year-old age group and in males.

Demographic, clinical, and biomarker predictors of apnea-hypopnea index from polysomnography in Midwestern sleep clinic patients
ConclusionsBMI and systolic BP were significant predictors of OSA in this study. The absence of lung disease as a significant predictor was unique and may be due to the small number of participants who self-reported lung disease. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report this combination of variables to predict AHI levels ≥ 15 from PSG.

Investigation of the relationships between sleep behaviors and risk of healthspan termination: a prospective cohort study based on 323,373 UK-Biobank participants
ConclusionParticipants who reported “usually experience sleeplessness/insomnia,” “usually nap,” “excessive daytime sleepiness,” and “difficult getting up from bed” had increased risk of shortened healthspan. Therefore, adherence to healthy sleep behavior is significant for the extension of healthspan.

Association between REM-related mild obstructive sleep apnea and common cardiometabolic diseases
ConclusionCommon CMDs, particularly HT, tend to show an association with REM-OSA in patients with  mild OSA, but this association did not reach statistically significant levels.
