Comorbidities in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome (OSAS) in Reunion Island.
Conclusion: Morbid obesity, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and respiratory illness are a predictor of severe OSAS in our patients especially snorers.

Polygraphic parameters do not correlate with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) symptoms according to Baveno
Conclusion: Isolated PG data are not suitable biomarkers to predict OSA symptoms and thus, should not be the only basis to guide therapy.

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.

Treating sleep disorders to improve blood pressure control and cardiovascular prevention: a dream come true?-a narrative review.
Authors: Maiolino G, Bisogni V, Silvani A, Pengo MF, Lombardi C, Parati G Abstract Hypertension is one of the primary risk factors for heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death worldwide. Current evidence supports the treatment of high blood pressure (BP) values in order to obtain a substantial reduction of cardiovascular burden. Sleep plays an important role in maintaining nocturnal BP control and nocturnal hypertension which, in turn, can be affected by the presence of sleep disorders. Whilst respiratory disturbances have been extensively studied and their causal role in the development of nocturnal h...

Narrative review of sleep and stroke.
Authors: Pérez-Carbonell L, Bashir S Abstract Sleep disorders, such as sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), insomnia or restless legs syndrome (RLS), are common in the general population and after stroke. In some cases, sleep disturbances are pre-existing, but can also appear de novo as a direct consequence of brain damage or due to stroke-related complications. Furthermore, some sleep conditions may act as a risk factor of stroke. This review explores the available evidence of the two-way relationship between sleep and stroke. Cardiovascular physiological changes during sleep are described, as well as the evidence o...

A novel multicomponent grading system for obstructive sleep apnoea severity applied in the ESADA cohort
Conclusion: Our data show that the four suggested OSA phenotypes of the "Baveno" classification reflect clinical phenotypes in a large, representative European patient cohort. The impact of T90, known to be correlated with poor cognitive, cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes, may indicate the prognostic relevance of the grading system.* Randerath et al.

Cardiovascular comorbidity by clinical phenotypes of obstructive sleep apnea and sleeping hours
Conclusion: The ESE group had more severe OSA. Those with ESE and ≤5h/d had more CVC. Those with ≤5h/d had more dyslipidemia, especially when ESE and insomnia were absent.

EAN/ERS/ESO/ESRS statement on the impact of sleep disorders on risk and outcome of stroke
Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in the general population and may be linked in a bidirectional fashion to stroke, which is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Four major scientific societies established a task force of experts in neurology, stroke, respiratory medicine, sleep medicine and methodology, to critically evaluate the evidence regarding potential links and the impact of therapy. 13 research questions were evaluated in a systematic literature search using a stepwise hierarchical approach: first, systematic reviews and meta-analyses; second, primary studies post-dating the systematic reviews/...

Relationship between daytime sleepiness, fatigue severity and respiratory muscle strength in stroke patients
Conclusion: Daytime sleepiness and fatigue levels of stroke patients are related each other, but both of sleepiness and fatigue levels are not related to respiratory muscle strength. Will contribute to improving their participation in daily life activities and quality of life.

The prevalence and clinical significance of sleep disorders in acute ischemic stroke patients —a questionnaire study
ConclusionsScreening for and intervening in the sleep problems of stroke patients could improve their outcome. As sleep disturbances are associated with short-term and/or long-term outcomes of strokes, active screening and intervention for sleep disturbances after strokes are needed.

Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in men varies markedly according to definition criteria
Conclusion: Inclusion of co-morbidities in the ICSD-3 criteria does not notably increase OSAS prevalence over that determined by OSA symptoms alone. Better identification of who is at long-term risk from OSA-related complications is needed to define significant OSA.1 Heinzer R, et al. Lancet Resp Med. 2016; 4: e5-e6.
