Physical activity for obstructive sleep apnea after stroke? A pilot study assessing the contribution of body fluids
CONCLUSION: An acute bout of physical activity reduced OSA classification based on AHI (from moderate to mild) and sleep fragmentation. Our results provide preliminary evidence of a possible link between physical activity in patients after stroke as an intervention to counteract OSA severity and improve sleep.PMID:36327028 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-022-02735-7

Sex Differences in 90-Day Functional Outcomes for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Conclusions Males were found to have two times higher risk for developing poor functional outcomes at 90 days. This may be due to more severe oxygen desaturation, increased susceptibility to oxidative stress, and greater frequency of full airway obstruction in males. Greater emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment of OSA may be necessary to reduce the disproportionate incidence of poor functional outcomes, particularly among apneic male stroke survivors.PMID:37388591 | PMC:PMC10306317 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.39652

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...

Sleep apnea common among stroke-related brainstem injuries
People whose brainstems are affected by their stroke have a significantly higher prevalence of sleep apnea than those who have stroke-related injury elsewhere in the brain, according to new research. Sleep apnea is marked by interrupted breathing during sleep and can lead to serious health problems including heart disease and stroke.

Can a Prediction Model Combining Self-Reported Symptoms, Sociodemographic and Clinical Features Serve as a Reliable First Screening Method for Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Patients With Stroke?
Conclusions: The prediction model shows acceptable diagnostic accuracy for a high likelihood of SAS. Therefore, we conclude that the prediction model can serve as a reasonable first screening method in a stepped diagnostic approach to SAS in stroke rehabilitation.

Efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure treatment on 5‐year survival in patients with ischaemic stroke and obstructive sleep apnea: a randomized controlled trial
Summary The main purpose of the present analysis is to assess the influence of introducing early nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) treatment on cardiovascular recurrences and mortality in patients with a first‐ever ischaemic stroke and moderate–severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with an apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) ≥20 events h−1 during a 5‐year follow‐up. Patients received conventional treatment for stroke and were assigned randomly to the nCPAP group (n = 71) or the control group (n = 69). Cardiovascular events and mortality were registered for all patients. Survival and cardiovascular ...

Association of inflammation and oxidative stress with obstructive sleep apnea in ischemic stroke patients
• The level of C-reactive protein is decreased in stroke patients with severe OSA.• The role of OSA in inflammation is attenuated in stroke patients.• An adaptive antioxidative response emerges in stroke patients with severe OSA.• The adaptive antioxidative response outweighs the proinflammatory effect, due to severe OSA.

Infarct location and sleep apnea: evaluating the potential association in acute ischemic stroke
• The relationship between infarction location and sleep apnea was examined.• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is present in the majority of stroke patients.• Infarct location cannot reliably be used to identify a higher risk of OSA.• There are no clearly identifiable OSA predictive factors in acute stroke patients.• Polysomnography should be considered in all acute stroke patients.

Sleep-disordered breathing among acute ischemic stroke patients in Brazil
• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very frequent in Brazilian patients with acute stroke.• Severe OSA was associated with a poor long-term functional outcome following stroke.• OSA is a treatable condition and therefore its treatment seems to be a potential target to improve outcome of acute stroke patients.

Sleep and Stroke
Evidence increasingly suggests sleep disorders are associated with higher risk of cardiovascular events, including stroke. Strong data correlate untreated sleep apnea with poorer stroke outcomes and more recent evidence implicates sleep disruption as a possible etiology for increased cerebrovascular events. Also, sleep duration may affect incidence of cardiovascular events. In addition, sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and parasomnias can occur as a result of cerebrovascular events. Treatment of sleep disorders improve sleep-related symptoms and may also improve stroke recovery and risk of future events.
