Background and purpose Evidence of an association between sleep apnea (SA) and early
neurological deterioration (END) in acute phase ischemic stroke is scant. We investigated …

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a probable risk factor with speculative roles
in the induction or aggravation of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: The association …

Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) appears to be a cardiovascular risk factor, its
frequency in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke remains poorly known …

Background: Sleep apnea is increasingly being recognized as 1 of the important, modifiable
risk factors of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Sleep apnea is thought to impair the …

Study Objectives: To evaluate clinical recognition of sleep apnea and related outcomes in
patients hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: A retrospective study of all …

BACKGROUND: Specific clinical and demographic risk factors may be associated with
improving or worsening neurologic outcomes within a population of acute ischemic stroke …

Background: In animal models, brief periods of hypoxemia render the brain tolerant to
subsequent ischemic insults. Sleep apnea leads to frequent episodes of nocturnal …

Objective: To determine the prevalence of sleep apnea (SA) during the first night after
hemispheric ischemic stroke and its influence on clinical presentation, course, and …

Objective The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence, type, and severity of sleep
apnea during the acute phase of ischemic stroke among patients either receiving or not …

Objectives Recent meta-analyses have noted that∼ 70% of transient ischemic attack
(TIA)/stroke patients have sleep apnea. However, the heterogeneity between studies was …
