Study Objectives: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is highly prevalent in patients with
acute stroke. SDB is often underdiagnosed and associated with neurological deterioration …

Background Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is present in more than 70% of stroke
patients. Despite its association with increased morbidity, mortality, and reduced functional …

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequent in acute stroke patients, and has
been associated with higher mortality and worse prognosis. Polysomnography (PSG) is the …

Objectives We aimed to compare the feasibility of automatically and manually scored
cardiorespiratory polygraphy results for sleep apnea screening in the acute phase of …

Background and Purpose—Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a common sleep disorder in
stroke patients and is associated with decreased recovery and increased risk of recurrent …

Introduction Prompt diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after acute ischemic stroke
(AIS) is critical for optimal clinical outcomes, but in-laboratory conventional polysomnograms …

Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a well-known risk factor for stroke. This is
attributed to multiple mechanisms such as endothelial dysfunction, atrial fibrillation …

Early screening for sleep apnea (SA) is rarely considered in patients with acute cerebral
ischemia. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of early SA screening on a stroke unit, its …

Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common among acute stroke patients. We
sought to investigate the prevalence, severity and type of SDB in consecutive acute stroke …

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 …
