Brainstem strokes are associated with increased obstructive apnea index during sleep acutely after stroke
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and ischemic stroke are intertwined pathologies. Stroke topography may influence SDB presentation. We investigated the association of stroke topography with obstructive (OAI) and central apnea indices (CAI) in acute and subacute stroke.The prospective multicentre SAS-CARE study included 204 stroke patients. Demographic, anthropometric and stroke characteristics were recorded at admission. Stroke topography (left- and right-sided, supra- and infratentorial, cortical, subcortical, insular, brainstem, cerebellar) was visually scored on the MRI at admission and binary coded. Polysomnography was...

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/...

Does Speech Disorder (Aphasia) Affect Respiratory Muscle Strength in Stroke?
Conclusion: It is well known that respiratory muscle strength decrease in individuals after stroke. In addition, it seems that respiratory muscle strength of aphasic patients is significantly reduced compare to non-aphasic stroke patients. However, expiratory muscle strength is similar.

Predicting sleep disordered breathing acutely after stroke: comparing eight sleep questionnaires and a logistic regression model
Conclusion: Neither the questionnaires nor the multivariate model is sufficiently powerful to diagnose SBD in acute stroke patients. Nonetheless, STOP-BANG and SACS are useful to triage acute stroke patients with a higher likelihood for SDB to testing with limited channel sleep studies for early diagnosis and treatment in the acute phase after stroke.

The prevalence and risk factors of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with stroke in a tertiary care hospital in India
Conclusion: OSA is highly prevalent in the stroke population with subtle clinical symptoms. BMI was found to be an independent risk factor associated with moderate to severe OSA. A diagnostic sleep study is warranted in stroke patients, particularly with obesity.

Risk of stroke in COPD: a matched cohort study
Conclusion: Relative to matched controls, people with COPD are at increased risk of stroke; however, this increased risk declines with age. Relative risks have not changed significantly during the study period, suggesting more research is needed to establish how stroke risk in COPD can be mitigated.References1. Annals ATS. In press.2.

Asthma, asthma control and risk of stroke: the Nord-Trondelag Health Study (HUNT)
Conclusions: Active asthma was associated with modest increased risk of stroke in males and smokers independently of other conventional cardiovascular risk factors.

Pulse-rate variability during sleep studies predicts stroke risk in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
Conclusion: In patients investigated for clinical suspicion of OSA, PRV derived from oximetry during sleep studies allows a reliable prediction of stroke incidence: patients with marked low sympathetic/parasympathetic tone, expressed as a decrease in the LF/HF ratio, were at higher risk of stroke.

Reliability of three respiratory muscle tests in post-stroke patients. A pilot study
Conclusion: The pilot data show a good inter-rater reliability of all 3 measures, but SNIP may require a practice session in stroke patients.

Peak expiratory cough flow and respiratory muscle function in acute stroke patients
Conclusion: Stroke patients presents important impairment on cough and respiratory muscle function. No differences were observed in the main outcomes between dysphagic and non-dysphagic patients.

Sleep disorder level in stroke patients and related factors
Conclusions: In this study, an increase in sleep disorder was detected in stroke patients according to the control group. We found that functional status, sleep quality and depression were related to each other and that sleep quality deteriorated and functional status deteriorated with increasing depressive mood, and sleep quality and depressive mood also affected each other negatively in stroke patients.

Respiratory function in chronic stroke patients: an observational study
Conclusion: Our results showed that chronic stroke patients show significant impairment in pulmonary function, cough effectiveness, and respiratory muscle strength compared to the control group, and as a consequence, a loss of functionality at this level.
