Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a form of sleep-disordered breathing due to
intermittent upper airway closure causing hypoxia, sympathetic activation, and …

Rationale Obstructive sleep apnea is common among patients with acute ischemic stroke
and is associated with reduced functional recovery and an increased risk for recurrent …

Purpose Untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke
(AIS) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, diagnosing and treating …

Few randomized controlled trials have evaluated the effectiveness of continuous positive
airway pressure (CPAP) in reducing recurrent vascular events and mortality in poststroke …

Sleep apnea affects more than half of patients with acute ischemic stroke and is associated
with poor stroke outcome. This pilot study assessed the feasibility of a randomized, sham …

Purpose Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in post-stroke patients and
observational evidence suggests that untreated it is a harbinger of poorer outcomes in this …

Objective Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been shown to improve
functional, motor and cognitive outcomes in post-stroke obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) …

Background New approaches are needed to treat patients with stroke. Among acute
ischemic stroke patients, our primary objectives were to describe the prevalence of sleep …

Background and Purpose—In stroke patients, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated
with poorer functional outcomes than in those without OSA. We hypothesized that treatment …

Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common after stroke and predicts poor
outcomes. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treats OSA but is generally poorly …
