Abstract Introduction In Asian population, facial structure may contribute to the primary
pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We hypothesized that sleep position may …

Objectives The body position has a strong influence on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The
purpose of this study is to compare the clinical features of two subtypes of positional OSA …

Study objectives To compare anthropomorphic, nocturnal polysomnographic (PSG), and
multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) data between positional (PP) and nonpositional (NPP) …

Purpose This study aimed to determine the prevalence of positional obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) and its subtypes in Korean adults with newly diagnosed OSA and document the …

Purpose The primary objective of this paper was to identify significant factors associated with
positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea (POSA) and to provide a clinical tool for discriminating …

Purpose We assessed the prevalence of positional patients (PPs) and the main predictors of
positional dependency in severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A simulated effect of …

Objectives To investigate the relationship of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positional
dependency and to identify its clinical implication in an Asian population. Design …

Several definitions were proposed to diagnose Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea (pOSA).
However, the comparison between these definitions according to their diagnostic value is …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in and risk factors for
positional and nonpositional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). STUDY DESIGN: One hundred …

Study objective: To compare the severity of sleepapneic events occurring in the supine
posture vs the severity of sleepapneic events occurring in the lateral posture in patients with …
