Agreement between stroke patients and family members for ascertaining pre-stroke risk for sleep apnea
Conclusions: Spouse and child proxy use of the Berlin questionnaire may be an option to assess a patient’s pre-stroke likelihood of sleep apnea. Whereas prospective studies of incident stroke in patients with and without objectively confirmed sleep apnea would require formidable resources, our results suggest that an alternative strategy may involve proxy use of the Berlin questionnaire in a retrospective study design.

Nonapnea sleep disorders are associated with subsequent ischemic stroke risk: a nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study
Conclusions: Our nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study provides evidence that patients with NSD were at increased risk for developing ischemic stroke compared to patients without diagnosed sleep disorder, with men and the elderly being at greatest risk.

SOS score: an optimized score to screen acute stroke patients for obstructive sleep apnea
Conclusions: The SOS score administered to relatives of stroke patients is a useful tool to screen for OSA and may decrease the need for PSG in acute stroke setting.

Complex sleep apnea syndrome in stroke patients
We would like to thank Dr. Sacchetti and co-workers for their interest in our article . Sacchetti et al. raise the question whether a stroke may transform, in selected patients, an obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS) into a complex-sleep apnea syndrome (Comp-SAS) and postulate that the appearance of central respiratory events may represent a stable consequence of stroke, and may complicate the treatment approach to sleep apnea. This hypothesis is supported by their preliminary data showing mixed (obstructive and central) apneas four months after the stroke. This high prevalence of central and mixed respiratory events ...

Prevalence of pre-stroke sleep apnea risk and short or long sleep duration in a bi-ethnic stroke population
• High risk of pre-stroke SA is common in ischemic stroke patients.• The prevalence of high pre-stroke SA risk was not higher in MAs than NHWs.• Short or long sleep duration prevalence was not higher in MAs than NHWs.• Sleep duration and pre-stroke SA risk does not explain bi-ethnic stroke disparities.

The association between atrial fibrillation and stroke in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: A population-based case-control study
Abstract: Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been shown to be an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke and may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) by up to fourfold. Given these relationships, it is possible that OSA may provide a link between stroke and AF. A case-control study was conducted to examine the association between AF and stroke in patients with OSA.Methods: Olmsted County, MN, USA, residents with a new diagnosis of OSA based on polysomnography (PSG) between 2005 and 2010 (N=2980) who suffered a first-time ischemic stroke during the same period were identified as cases. Controls with ...

Adaptive servo-ventilation as treatment of persistent central sleep apnea in post-acute ischemic stroke patients
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is common after ischemic stroke and can be found in about 50–70% of patients [1,2]. SDB improves over time in many cases, but about 50% of stroke patients continue to have an elevated apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) of ≥10/h 3 months after the acute event [1,3–5]. Central apneas and Cheyne Stokes Respiration (CSR) tend to improve better than obstructive apneas, but nevertheless persist in 6–29% of stable stroke patients [2–4,6,7]. Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a negative prognostic factor in acute stroke [8,9] and related to stroke severity and topography and often, but not necessaril...

Sex Differences in Sleep-Disordered Breathing After Stroke: Results from the BASIC Project
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), an independent risk factor for stroke, is associated with worse post-stroke outcomes. Differences in the relationship between SDB and stroke may exist for women versus men. In this population-based study, we compared the prevalence of both pre- and post-stroke SDB by sex. We also explored whether menopausal status is related to post-stroke SDB.

Effect of bright light treatment in patient with post-stroke insomnia
Introduction: Post-stroke insomnia is associated with physical and mental health-related quality of life as well as functional outcomes in stroke patients during rehabilitation. Hypnotics could aggravate sleep apnea or delay neurological recovery in post-stroke insomnia, so non-pharmacologic treatment of insomnia after stroke is needed. Bright light treatment has been regarded as effective non- pharmacologic treatment for insomnia in general population. However, there has been no study using bright light treatment in post-stroke insomnia.

Restless legs syndrome, a predictor of subcortical stroke: A prospective study in 346 stroke patients
• Restless legs syndroome (RLS), especially unilateral or asymmetrical, might commonly pre-exist in patients presenting with subcortical stroke.• The common laterality may suggest an important predictive value for RLS and may form an important point for future research.• RLS and stroke relationship were convincingly highlighted.• Observations may yield prognostic value for RLS among patients with common risk factors for stroke.

Identifying obstructive sleep apnea after stroke/TIA: evaluating four simple screening tools
We examined whether paper-based screening tools could rule out OSA after stroke/TIA• We evaluated 69 patients (53 with stroke, 16 with TIA); 32 patients (46.4%) had OSA• The 4V and STOP-BAG were the best tools for ruling out OSA• Future work should refine these tools to enhance their utility after stroke/TIA

Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with acute stroke
Introduction: Stroke or Cerebrovascular Disease is a serious neurological disorder and is the second leading cause of death globally. Apart from the well-known modifiable risk factors for stroke like diabetes, hypertension and ischemic heart disease, Obstructive Sleep apnea (OSA) is emerging as an independent and eminently modifiable risk factor. The reported prevalence rate of OSA in stroke patients in various studies ranges from 30-80%. This prospective study was undertaken over a period of 20 months to determine the prevalence of OSA in newly diagnosed stroke patients.

May stroke cause a Complex Sleep Apnea-CompSA?
We have read with great interest the article by De Paolis et al. , on the acute shift from obstructive (OSAHS) to Central Sleep Apnea–Hypopnea Syndrome (CSAHS) during the acute phase of stroke, in one patient under CPAP treatment for one year before stroke. Effectiveness of CPAP in acute strokes has been recently reported . This case instead, poses the question as to whether there are subgroups of patients that do not benefit from CPAP, and how to select them. Do the patients have Complex Sleep Apneas-CompSA? CompSA are a heterogeneous group of CSAHS that emerge upon exposure to CPAP, but that exist independently from th...

Daytime sleepiness and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke: results from the Nurses’ Health Study II
Conclusions: Daytime sleepiness was not an independent risk factor for CVD in this cohort of women, but rather, was associated with sleep characteristics and metabolic abnormalities that are risk factors for CVD.
